Oushak Turkish Antique Floral Allover Ivory Hand-Knotted Wool Runner – Circa 1930 (Fragment) BB8164 2'2" × 11'6" $4,000

This captivating vintage Turkish Oushak fragment runner from the 1930s showcases the enduring beauty of Anatolian weaving. Rendered in a striking yet softened palette of muted celadon blue, terra-cotta, ivory, and ochre, the design radiates a rustic, romantic charm.

The rug features a repeating pattern of stylized rosettes flanked by serrated leaves and floral sprays, all enclosed within a meandering vine border filled with delicate blossoms. The gentle abrash in the field — subtle shifts in color due to natural dye variations — enhances its handmade character and historical authenticity.

Despite being a fragment, this runner maintains strong compositional balance and visual rhythm. The carefully preserved ends and tailored proportions make it ideal for hallways, entryways, or as a bold linear accent in contemporary or traditional interiors alike.

Hand-knotted in wool, the rug carries the time-softened texture and patina typical of early 20th-century Turkish craftsmanship. Its refined yet organic aesthetic tells a story of cultural heritage, artistry, and endurance.

Rich in heritage and artistry, this handmade rug exemplifies the high standards of Doris Leslie Blau’s curated pieces. With a wide range of prices, Doris Leslie Blau makes exceptional rugs accessible to collectors and designers alike.
