Hand-knotted … Read more This vibrant 1970s Oushak runner features a series of striking geometric medallions set against a rich, saturated red field. Hand-knotted by village artisans in the Aegean region of Turkey, this "yoluk" (pathway) rug showcases the spontaneous creativity and high-contrast palette typical of authentic Anatolian craft. The piece utilizes natural vegetable dyes to achieve its bold magenta, electric orange, and lime green accents, creating a rhythmic visual energy that perfectly suits long, transition spaces.

With its generous length and durable low-pile construction, this runner is an ideal choice for high-traffic hallways, grand entryways, or alongside a long kitchen island. Its blend of traditional nomadic motifs and a surprisingly modern, neon-adjacent color palette allows it to bridge the gap between classic Traditional and bold Boho-Chic or Organic Modern interiors.

◆ Color Palette & Design Insight:
The rug exudes a warm and energetic mood with a high-contrast geometric layout.
(Primary colors: Saturated Red, Magenta Pink, Electric Orange, Lime Green)
• The primary field is a deep, saturated red that provides a dramatic ground for the motifs.
• Central medallions feature vibrant magenta and orange tones for a contemporary pop.
• Accents of lime green and lavender purple add a cooling balance to the warm tones.
• The cream-based border offers a light, framing contrast to the dense center.

◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
The repeating diamond-shaped medallions are a variation of the "Medallion" motif, traditionally symbolizing protection and the weaver's personal creative expression. The serrated edges of the diamonds and the geometric floral elements in the border are classic Anatolian protective symbols meant to safeguard the home. The subtle variations in dye (abrash) throughout the red field indicate the authentic use of small-batch, hand-dyed vegetable wool.
