Oriental Ziegler Myra Blue/Tan Wool Rug - 10'3'' x 13'7''

Small blossoms on a web of fine vines cover a dark blue field inside a wide tan floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This oriental transitional 10x14 area rug comes in blue and tan.

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 blue field and the tan border, with navy and brown 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 blue field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. 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. 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.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In blue and tan, with touches of navy and brown, this rug gives a boho chic or eclectic room a focal point, and it sits just as well in a coastal or transitional space. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
