This long transitional runner features an open repeating pattern of large floral medallions with delicate petal outlines and internal arabesques in terracotta and ivory, spaced along the gentle pale green field. Small scrolling vines and hooked motifs connect the main elements, creating a light, rhythmic flow suitable for extended narrow spaces. Wide multiple borders include repeating floral chains, geometric diamonds, and narrow guard bands in soft red and cream, framing the design with understated elegance and gentle age fading.
Oushak-style transitional runners use softer greens and more open layouts than classic antiques, blending traditional Turkish floral motifs with modern lightness for contemporary homes. The hand-knotted wool pile and natural dyes produce subtle variations and a plush texture that softens further with time. This runner’s impressive length and well-preserved condition make it a rare, practical piece with timeless appeal.
Ideal for very long hallways, wide corridors, or extended entryways where it can provide continuous pattern and warmth. The pale green field with red accents pairs beautifully with wood floors, neutral walls, or soft-toned furniture in traditional or relaxed interiors. Its durable wool construction handles consistent foot traffic while maintaining a calm, inviting atmosphere.
