Bohemian Ziegler Aleisha Brown/Beige Wool Rug - 7'11'' x 10'0''

Large pale blossoms and curving leaves cover a dark brown field inside a beige floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is a bohemian 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 blue and tan 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. 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. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. In brown and beige, with touches of blue and tan, 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.
