This long new Turkish Oushak runner features a repeating series of connected medallions running down the center, each filled with intricate floral rosettes and palmettes in warm terracotta and gold tones. The narrow field uses a clean beige ground to highlight the motifs, while wide blue borders run along both sides with continuous vine scrolls, small flowers, and geometric fillers that add depth and frame the design. The overall pattern flows smoothly from one end to the other, creating a rhythmic, elegant look suited for extended spaces.
Oushak runners like this draw from Turkish village traditions, where weavers create narrow pieces with repeating classical motifs scaled for hallways and corridors. The hand-knotted wool technique ensures tight, even knots that keep the details crisp, and the light color scheme gives a fresh, contemporary twist to traditional elements. Abrash variations in the blue borders add natural character without overpowering the simplicity.
A 3×17 runner is ideal for long hallways, entryways, or beside kitchen islands, guiding foot traffic while protecting floors. The neutral beige center blends with most flooring and wall colors, while the blue borders provide gentle contrast and visual interest. Wool offers cushioning underfoot, excellent durability for high-traffic areas, and straightforward cleaning with vacuuming and spot treatment.
