{"product_id":"blue-runner-rug-2-6-x-12-8-no-vr99464","title":"Blue Turkish Oushak Rug 2'6\" x 12'8\" Hand-Knotted | No. VR99464","description":"\u003cp\u003eOushak runners carry a quiet authority, and this vintage example does so through a blue-toned geometric field where time has softened the palette into something gentler than its original dye. The geometric patterning unfolds across the long narrow format with the open, unhurried spacing that western Anatolian weavers favored, while decades of use have built a low, honest patina that no new rug can replicate. The aged pile holds its color with a warmth that only mellowed wool achieves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from Istanbul through ALRUG's longstanding network, this hand-knotted runner was tied using the Ghiordes symmetrical knot, the traditional Turkish knotting technique that produces a dense, durable structure. The wool is Anatolian, lanolin-rich by nature, which gives the pile its characteristic resilience and the slightly lustrous surface visible in the field. Vintage pieces from this region represent a weaving tradition that shaped rug production across western Anatolia for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2'6\" x 12'8\", this runner suits a hallway, kitchen, or alongside a bed in a room with wood or stone flooring. It pairs naturally with neutral interiors or spaces that benefit from a considered geometric anchor.
