Turkish Oushak Style Handspun Wool Rug, Farmhouse Decor Living Room Rug, Distressed Muted Rug Boho Rustic Decor, Persian Area Rug, 3 x 12

Softly colored in neutral tones this Hallway Runner Rug was hand-knotted mid 20th Century according to traditional designs and techniques passed from generation to generation of home-based village weavers in the Villages and Towns in Central Anatolia, Turkey. Locally sourced sheep wool was hand-spun and then dyed with vegetable / organic dyes specific to the area. These rugs were traditionally quite bold and strongly colored and had quite thick, long pile/nap. However, such strongly colored and heavily piled rugs are not as compatible with contemporary home decor as they were with life in the Village in Turkey, so the colors in this rug have been softened and faded in natural sun light and the pile reduced / shaved to produce the “Vintage Distressed” look so in keeping with modern home decoration trends. The reduced pile allows for flexibility of placement under furniture and ease of cleaning in high traffic areas.
