Description

Ancient antique Ushak runner, woven over 120 years ago and with so much rustic charm.  With turquoise blues, warm reds and golden yellows, woven with an abstract geometric pattern, it would look wonderful on a wooden floor or placed on sisal.  Ushak runners are rare to find as they usually produced larger carpets for the Western market.

With some areas of lower pile showing in places, this could be improved by our workshop, but we love this antique, and not perfect look.  Supplied with our sturdy underlay this prevents the runner moving on the floor and actually helps prevent wear.

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.

FAQs

Ushak rugs originate from the town of Ushak in western Anatolia, which has been a major centre for rug production since the Ottoman Empire. These carpets gained international renown during the 16th and 17th centuries, prized for their luminous wool and distinct botanical and geometric designs.

Traditional Ushak runners are hand-knotted using hand-spun sheeps wool for both the pile and the foundation structure, often featuring wool or cotton warps and wefts. Natural dyes derived from plants, roots, and insects are utilised to create rich, nuanced colour palettes that mellow gracefully over time.

Authentication involves examining the hand-knotted weave density, irregularities in natural dye lots, and the wear patterns on the wool pile. Genuine older pieces display organic variations in design symmetry and hand-spun yarn textures that machine-made reproductions cannot replicate.

An antique runner adds warmth, texture, and historical contrast to contemporary spaces when placed in long corridors, kitchens, or entryways. Pairing the faded chromatic tones with minimalist furniture allows the rich heritage and intricate motifs of the rug to serve as a focal point.

Preserve antique wool rugs by vacuuming gently without a rotating beater bar and keeping them out of direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent dye fading. Professional cleaning should be undertaken periodically by specialists experienced in handling historic textiles.
