Antique Oushak Turkish Allover Geometric Warm Tan With Classic Taupe Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1900 BB8934 2'5" × 23'5" $25,000

This antique Turkish Oushak runner, hand-knotted circa 1900 in Anatolia, reflects the softened elegance long associated with the Oushak weaving tradition. Woven in wool, it offers the quiet density and tactile presence collectors value in antique runners.

A warm tan field carries a vertical sequence of faded geometric medallions and crest-like forms, drawn in muted taupe and dusty beige. The allover repeat lends the composition a measured, architectural rhythm, while the open background keeps the design airy rather than heavy. Its Arts and Crafts sensibility is evident in the balanced geometry and the understated, hand-rendered surface.

A narrow border of angular motifs frames the field with just enough definition to anchor the composition. The softly worn pile and mellow patina deepen its tonal character, allowing the pattern to read with calm clarity. Elegant without fuss, this antique Oushak runner brings historic texture and a refined neutral palette to hallways, galleries, and transitional interiors.

Part of Doris Leslie Blau's grand collection, this antique rug stands as a testament to the enduring beauty of traditional weaving artistry.
