Chic Zeigler Gayle Brown/Beige Wool Rug - 10'1'' x 13'8''

A soft, tone-on-tone pattern of blossoms covers the field in warm brown and beige. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is a chic transitional 10x14 area rug 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 tam 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. Once the 10x14 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In brown and beige, with a touch of tam, this rug suits bohemian, global, and rustic modern interiors, and it warms up a mid-century modern room. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
