Oversize Antique Ushak Runner

19th century
Description

A enormous oversize antique Ushak runner, from the late 19th century and also very narrow, which is often difficult to find. A rare antique runner and in great condition too, the colours and design are really wonderful.  Ideal for a long corridor or even for the stairs, we have installed many antique runners on stairs over the years and they can look fantastic!

Ushak rugs, runners and carpets were woven in the Anatolian highlands south of Istanbul where they used extremely soft wool and using the larger Turkish knot made them weave more open designs than Persian carpets. They are increasingly desirable today due to their often softer palette than antique Persian carpets, thus making them easy to place in a drawing room or under a dining table.

FAQs

Originating from the city of Usak in western Anatolia, Turkey, Ushak (or Oushak) rugs have been woven since the 15th century. They became celebrated throughout European palaces and stately homes for their distinctively soft colour palettes, spacious floral compositions, and high-quality wool.

Traditional Ushak runners are hand-knotted using locally sourced, high-grade wool on a wool or cotton warp and weft foundation. The dyes were historically derived from natural vegetable and mineral sources, giving the textiles their charakteristic muted, luminous hues.

Authentic Ushak pieces feature Ghiordes (symmetrical) knots with a lower knot density compared to silk rugs, resulting in a slightly coarser, supple handle. Look for large-scale stylised floral or medallion motifs, relaxed geometric borders, and a signature palette of soft terracottas, slate blues, creams, and muted golds.

An antique runner adds tactile warmth and grounding colour to long spaces such as entrance halls, corridors, or alongside kitchen islands. Their muted tone-on-tone patterns layer effortlessly into both period properties and minimalist contemporary interiors without overwhelming the space.

Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling the wool pile. Always use a high-quality non-slip underlay to protect against friction wear, and turn to professional dry rug cleaning services for periodic deep treatment.
