Chic Ziegler Drake Green/Tan Wool Rug - 9'11'' x 13'6''

Green and tan squares form a checkerboard, with a small flowering plant in every other square. The geometric layout gives it a clean, graphic look. It is a chic modern 10x14 area rug in green and tan.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool, and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. The dyes give the pile an abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The green and tan tones, with touches of rust and brown, work in contemporary, coastal, and mid-century modern interiors, and they pair easily with gray, white, and natural wood. The checkerboard layout suits mid-century modern and modern farmhouse rooms.
