Description

Amazing green antique Ushak runner! Woven around 1910-1915, we love the green dyes and pink border used to create this antique runner, which has an almost contemporary feel! The change in the green dye at the top of the runner, is due to the weaver using a different batch of wool creating this 'Abrash' the term for dye change.  It adds lots of character to this beautiful piece, and coming in good all over condition, it is ready to be used on the floor to brighten a space!

Ushak runners, carpets and rugs or Oushak depending on the spelling preference, were woven in Western Anatolia which was one of the largest rug production areas since the Ottoman Empire.  Their designs tend to be more open than Persian rugs and soft dyes are not uncommon.  Often younger Ushak's woven around 1920-30 will be rich red in colour and use bolder geometric designs, as dyes and designs changed over the years.

To view this fun and colourful antique Ushak runner in situ, use our request home visit form, or contact us in your preferred way, we happily travel all over the UK showing our inventory of carpets, rugs and runners to private clients and interior designers.

FAQs

Ushak carpets originate from the town of Usak in western Turkey, a major centre for carpet production since the Ottoman Empire. They are historically renowned for their luminous wool, distinctive large-scale floral motifs, and muted colour palettes.

Authentic pieces are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for the pile and foundation threads. Natural vegetable and insect dyes are traditionally employed to achieve rich, enduring colour tones that soften gracefully over time.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the irregular density of the hand-knots, the organic variations in the natural dye colours, and the wear patterns on the wool pile. Genuine antique examples also feature traditional asymmetric knots and specific regional design motifs.

An antique runner introduces texture, warmth, and historical contrast to modern spaces. It works effectively in narrow circulation areas such as hallways, corridors, or kitchens, grounding minimalist furniture with traditional craftsmanship.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a rotating brush bar to protect the wool pile. Professional specialist cleaning should be carried out periodically, and direct exposure to intense sunlight should be minimised to prevent dye fading.
