Petite in size but rich in history, this antique Turkish Oushak runner (2.1 × 7 ft) offers a lively dose of Anatolian folk art. Its central field features a softly aged lattice of geometric motifs in terracotta, ochre, and faded peach — echoing the hues of desert stone and sunbaked earth. What sets this piece apart is the bold outer border, alive with eight-pointed stars in alternating shades of ivory, saffron, olive, and crimson, framed by delicate inner guard stripes.
Time has gently worn the wool surface to a low patina, allowing the rug’s structure and soul to show through. Its narrow width and bold graphic edge make it an excellent choice for layering, small foyers, or hallway spaces in need of character.
