Gilt and Gesso has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Featuring a field of characteristic motifs and themes with central medallions and latch-hooks complimented by border, a combination of subtle colours of brick red, orange and blue, produced by vegetable dye.
An elegant runner or hallway carpet with an established, sufficient wear, which is generally expected and admired for a carpet of this quality and age. There are some areas of subtle timeworn appearance which adds authenticity and character with evidence of some minimal restoration, with some historic reweaves at the ends/fringe area. There are some areas of lower pile in the main central field, but no thread bare areas or holes. The general pile is considered very good, with a respectable wool pile height which is an expected sign of reasonable/responsible use for 100 to 125 year old carpet, from the Ushak, Anatolia region of Turkey which has been a central area for rug production since the Ottoman Empire.
A versatile antique rug or carpet, a hall runner, stairs etc.., day or bedrooms, landing or large kitchen day room. A superbly stylish rug of considerable decorative appeal, a country house aesthetic for a classic or contemporary space. An interior design rug of function and form.
