Ziegler Ala Oushak Persian Rust Hand-Knotted Wool Runner Rug 2'6" x 11'

Rust, the Ziegler Ala Oushak is a Persian hand-knotted wool rug measuring 2'6" x 11'. The design is easy to live with: enough detail to hold interest, not so much that it dictates the rest of the room.

Each knot in a hand-knotted rug is tied by hand around the warp threads. It is slow work, and it is why these rugs hold their shape, take heavy foot traffic, and get passed down. The medium pile (0.25-0.75 inch) is substantial underfoot without catching on doors. Wool is naturally resilient, springs back after furniture is moved, resists staining thanks to its lanolin, and insulates against cold floors, which is why it remains the standard for rugs that see daily use.

A 2'6" x 11' runner suits a hallway or a galley kitchen, with a few inches of floor left visible along each side.
