{"product_id":"black-oushak-rug-5-7-x-8-2-no-vr88606","title":"Black Turkish Oushak Rug 5' 7\" x 8' 2\" Hand-Knotted | No. VR88606","description":"\u003cp\u003eOushak rugs are rarely found in a predominantly black palette, and this vintage piece carries a quiet gravity that sets it apart. The geometric field unfolds in measured, angular forms, their edges softened by decades of use and the slow mellowing that only time can produce. The black ground has deepened into something warmer than it once was, the pile wearing a patina that no new rug can replicate. The overall mood is composed and understated, with an authority that comes from age rather than decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWoven in western Anatolia, this hand-knotted rug was made using the Ghiordes symmetrical knot, the traditional Turkish technique that produces a dense, durable pile capable of lasting generations. The wool is Anatolian in character, lanolin-rich and resilient, which accounts for the way the pile has aged without losing its structural integrity. Oushak weaving carries a long regional history of open compositions and deliberate spacing, and both qualities are present here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt five feet seven inches by eight feet two inches, this rug suits a mid-sized living room, study, or bedroom where it can anchor a seating arrangement or sit beneath a queen bed. It pairs well with natural materials and darker furniture. Browse our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vintage-rugs\"\u003evintage rugs collection\u003c\/a\u003e for comparable pieces.
