Classic Ziegler Sofia Brown/Beige Wool Rug - 8'0'' x 9'10''

Blossoms and small panels of pattern are scattered across a brown field inside a beige floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a classic transitional 8x10 area rug in brown and beige.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool in a mix of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, give the brown field and the beige border their depth, with sienna brown and teal used for the detail work. The brown field may show an abrash, a gentle change of shade within one color. It is normal in handmade rugs, 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. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 8x10 rug its natural sheen. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Because the pile lies in one direction, the brown field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The warm brown and beige palette, with touches of sienna brown and teal, brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
