Rustic Charm in Miniature — Oushak Runner from Turkey (1.7 × 8.3 ft)
Don’t let its size fool you — this compact Oushak runner from Turkey (1.7 × 8.3 ft) is bursting with character. Rendered in a charming geometric pattern of alternating medallions, the rug cycles through earthy reds, mossy greens, and sand-toned neutrals — a warm, aged palette typical of traditional Anatolian weaving.
Despite its narrow width, the piece captures the essence of hand-knotted Turkish craftsmanship. The subtle abrash (natural variation in color from vegetable dyes) lends the runner a beautifully aged patina, making it ideal for small entryways, narrow kitchen alleys, or in front of a vintage console.
