This new Turkish Oushak runner displays a vertical central panel with a tall candelabra-like tree of life motif rising through the length, flanked by symmetrical floral sprays and small geometric shapes in terracotta and blue. The narrow beige field keeps the focus on the repeating medallions and vine tendrils that connect each section, while side borders feature continuous floral chains and small rosettes in matching tones. The design flows continuously from top to bottom with a gentle, faded quality that gives it an aged, collected feel.
Oushak runners often feature elongated tree-of-life or candelabra patterns rooted in Turkish weaving traditions, symbolizing growth and protection while allowing for narrow formats. Hand-knotted with wool, this piece uses a medium pile and natural dye effects to achieve soft color transitions and durability suited for high-traffic paths. The light palette and open spacing make it feel airy despite the long proportions.
A 3×17 runner fits perfectly in extended hallways, gallery spaces, or along kitchen counters, adding warmth and pattern without dominating the area. The beige ground with red and blue pops complements wood floors, neutral walls, or eclectic decor styles. Wool provides cushioning for comfort, strong resistance to wear, and simple maintenance through regular vacuuming.
