Oriental Ziegler Alexandr Brown/Tan Wool Rug - 7'7'' x 10'0''

Pale palmettes and blossoms cover a brown field inside a wide tan and gold floral border. It brings a soft, garden-like feel to the floor. This oriental transitional 8x10 area rug comes in brown and tan.

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 tan of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and beige and green 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. 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 7'7'' x 10'0''. 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 brown tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The rich brown and tan tones, with touches of beige and green, give an eclectic or boho chic room its focal point, and they add warmth to modern farmhouse and industrial loft spaces. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
