Vintage Distressed Alejandr Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 7'10'' x 9'9''

A dark, shaped center panel holds a small pale medallion, framed by a wide rust border of scrolling vines. The medallion gives the room a natural focal point. This 8x10 vintage distressed area rug comes in rust.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from durable, hand-spun wool. It is a vintage rug that has never been used. To give it the look of an antique, the pile was rubbed down by hand with lava stone, again and again, until it was low and gently worn. That is why the rust field and border look softened, with terra cotta and blue in the details. You may notice an abrash in the rust field, a soft shift in shade within a single color. Together with the artisan-tied knots and the small irregularities of handmade work, it gives the rug its own personality. The medallion keeps its shape while its edges are gently softened. The low pile makes a smooth, refined surface that sits flat under doors and furniture and stands up well in high-traffic rooms, and its worn-in texture hides everyday footprints.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The warm, faded rust palette suits bohemian, rustic modern, and traditional rooms, and it pairs well with leather, walnut, and aged brass. The lava stone finish adds antique-style character without the wear of a rug that has actually been walked on for decades.
