Large blossoms and palmettes on fine vines cover a soft brown field, framed by a wide beige border of leaves. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. This boho chic transitional 9x12 area rug comes in brown and beige.
Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The brown of the field and the beige of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and green and tan pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the brown field, a soft shift in shade within a single color. It comes from hand-spun wool taking natural dye slightly differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 9x12 rug its natural sheen. What you get is a dense wool pile with a soft hand, low enough to sit neatly under chairs and doors and sturdy enough for busy rooms. Because the pile lies in one direction, the brown field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.
Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. The warm brown and beige palette, with touches of green and tan, brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
