53917 Vintage Red Turkish Oushak Rug Runner, 03’05 x 09’07. This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak rug runner enchants with a striking balance of vibrant and subdued colors, showcasing traditional craftsmanship in a design that speaks of both history and modern elegance. Dominated by an open red field, the runner is a warm invitation into any space, exuding a sense of warmth that is both welcoming and regal. The vivid red backdrop sets a dramatic stage for the central design elements, lending a richness that is both visually stunning and deeply evocative.

Adorning the expanse of this striking Oushak runner are three light blue-gray serrated lozenge medallions, each intricately embellished with a central cross motif surrounded by smaller diamonds. These medallions are intricately detailed with rectilinear vinery and stylized florals, which bring a delicate contrast to the bold red field. This interplay of motifs and colors not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also imbues the vintage Oushak rug with a sense of depth and texture, making it a captivating focal point in any setting.

The corners of the Oushak rug feature light blue-gray spandrels, each dotted with delicately rendered rosettes and acanthus leaves. These elements complement the central medallions and harmonize beautifully with the overall design, maintaining the rug’s elegant symmetry and intricate patterning. The softness of the spandrels provides a visual softening of the bold central field, creating a balanced and aesthetically pleasing composition.

Framing the entire design is a beautifully detailed carnation meander border, which encapsulates the rug’s motifs and colors within a refined, continuous pattern. This border not only defines the edges of the rug but also enhances its overall composition by adding a layer of complexity and sophistication. The color palette of energetic earth-tones and nature-inspired hues, makes this woven wonder a versatile piece that can seamlessly integrate into various decor styles, from traditional to contemporary, embodying a timeless beauty that enriches any room it graces.

Rendered in variegated shades of red, light blue-gray, brown, beige, yellow, pale cerulean, light pink, and tan with other nature-inspired hues.
