Oriental Ziegler Eve Brown/Beige Wool Rug - 8'2'' x 9'7''

Small blossoms on fine vines cover a red-brown field inside a wide beige floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is an oriental transitional 8x10 area rug in brown and beige.

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 beige of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and green and rust 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. Once the 8x10 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen. 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. In brown and beige, with touches of green and rust, this rug suits bohemian, global, and rustic modern interiors, and it warms up a mid-century modern room. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
