Meticulously hand-knotted with wool on a wool foundation in the Oushak region of Western Turkey, the piece embodies the technical mastery and aesthetic sensibility that emerged from the plateau's centuries-old rug-making tradition. The runner showcases the distinctive geometric compositions and nuanced color harmonies that characterized each village's individual design philosophy—traditions so valued that European painters and designers frequently featured these textiles in their work. As a vintage example, it retains the authentic character and proven durability of a textile that has withstood the passage of time while maintaining its visual and structural integrity.
