Oushak / 12508

This Oushak runner reads as a warm study in red and ochre, centered on a tall mihrab-like cartouche with scalloped edges and a restrained floral vocabulary. Cream and white reserves lift the palette while small touches of muted blue-grey punctuate the palmette border. Woven in wool with a plush, tactile surface and low distress, the piece retains a sense of crafted restraint and slow, even fading. The composition is architectural yet soft, an antique rug with honest wear and open patterning that emphasizes its woolly texture. Circa 1900 - 1920. Measurements: 7' 0" x 13' 7".
