Eclectic Ziegler Cecilia Blue/Copper Wool Rug - 9'6'' x 11'4''

Blossoms and palmettes on fine vines cover a dark blue field, framed by a wide copper-toned floral border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. It is an eclectic transitional 10x11 area rug in blue and copper.

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 blue of the field and the copper of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and navy and gold pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the blue 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. Fine hand knotting keeps the small blossoms and curving vines crisp. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 9'6'' x 11'4''. 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. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the blue tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The mix of blue and copper, with touches of navy and gold, works in contemporary and mid-century modern rooms, and it ties warm wood tones to cooler upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
