The field features a soft salmon pink center medallion on a beige ground. Rose accents emerge throughout the pattern, while ivory details highlight the geometric elements.

Heritage and Craftsmanship
The Oushak region of Turkey is renowned for its distinguished weaving heritage, producing rugs that blend traditional symbolism with sophisticated design elements. These pieces reflect centuries of artistic evolution, combining cultural significance with practical beauty.
Design Elements
The design displays a central elongated medallion characteristic of traditional Turkish prayer rugs. The wave-like motifs (mihrab) at the top and bottom borders symbolize sacred gateways. The medallion's stepped diamond pattern represents the 'tree of life', a powerful symbol of connection between earth and heaven in Turkish weaving tradition. The geometric border elements, known as 'amulet' motifs, are believed to offer protection, while the overall composition creates a harmonious balance enhanced by its gracefully aged patina.
Placement
The 4'8" x 9'1" dimensions make this runner perfect for hallways, entryways, or as an elegant accent alongside furniture. The gentle palette of salmon pink and beige creates a welcoming atmosphere while providing subtle visual interest.
Care Recommendations
To preserve the rug's beauty:
Rotate periodically for even wear
Vacuum regularly using a suction-only setting
Address spills immediately by blotting, never rubbing
Professional cleaning recommended annually
Avoid direct sunlight to maintain color integrity
Oushak runners are celebrated for their distinctive patterns and durable construction. These pieces bring both cultural richness and practical elegance to transitional spaces in the home.
