52410
Distressed Vintage Turkish Oushak Rug, 03’09 x
09’01.

This hand-knotted wool vintage Turkish Oushak runner features a
triple medallion design of concentric hooked diamonds spread across an abrashed
terra cotta field. The medallions contain scorpion motifs, which represent
protection. Matching half-medallions reach from the edges toward the center.
The attractive main border displays the classic hands-on-hips motif, known as
Elibelinde in Turkish, which symbolizes fertility and motherhood. The motif
takes on a hexagonal pattern along the sides and appears doubled along the two
ends. A simple saw-tooth outer guard border echoes the angular designs of the
rest of the composition. With its rich symbolism, classic design, and a
time-softened color palette, this vintage Oushak runner would be a warm and
inviting presence in any interior.
