Oriental Ziegler Crystal Brown/Beige Wool Rug - 9'0'' x 11'5''

Sweeping tan vines and a few large blossoms cover a brown field inside a beige floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is an oriental transitional 9x11 area rug in brown and beige.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, color the brown field and the beige border, with green and rust in the details. Look for the abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It tends to show most in larger areas of one color, such as the brown field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. Fine hand knotting keeps the scrolling vines smooth and unbroken. Once the 9x11 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. In brown and beige, with touches of green and rust, this rug suits bohemian, global, and rustic modern interiors, and it warms up a mid-century modern room. The scrolling vines lean transitional and soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
