A faint, tone-on-tone pattern of blossoms and vines covers a pale tan field with soft brown detail. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. This classic transitional 10x13 area rug comes in tan and brown.
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 tan of the field and the brown of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and beige pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the tan 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 10'3'' x 12'8''. 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 tan 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 calm tan and brown tones, with a touch of beige, work in Scandinavian and modern farmhouse rooms, and give a quiet-luxury feel under neutral upholstery. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
