Antique Ushak runner

Fabulous colours on this antique Ushak runner from the late 19th century, woven with green to blue toned main field dyes, warm reds and oranges famous of the Ushak region. A great smaller and hard to find size, ready and available. Runners from Turkey of this proportion were more often commissioned for large homes in the West in the late 19th century, they have been used but well looked after. Their pile is thick and glossy, with soft wool you would expect from these densely piled antique Turkish runners. The weave on Ushak rugs, carpets and runners is generally rather coarse using bigger knotting than Persian rugs. but they have wonderful drawings and open designs.
