Oriental Ziegler Cornelia Beige/Taupe Wool Rug - 7'9'' x 10'5''

Rows of small pointed motifs and blossoms cover a beige field inside a taupe floral border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. It is an oriental transitional 8x10 area rug in beige and taupe.

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 beige field and the taupe border. 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 beige 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. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 7'9'' x 10'5''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the beige tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The calm beige and taupe tones work in Scandinavian and modern farmhouse rooms, and give a quiet-luxury feel under neutral upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
