Lavastone Caitlyn Brown/Tan Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 13'2'' x 16'8''

Tiny scattered blossoms dot a soft brown field inside a tan border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is a 13x17 Lavastone area rug in brown and tan.

Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made 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 where the name Lavastone comes from, and it is why the brown field and the tan border look softened, with beige and rust in the details. You may notice an abrash in the brown 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 softened outlines of the flowers and vines are part of the look. The result is a smooth, low surface that slides easily under doors and chair legs, holds up in busy rooms, and does not show footprints.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The warm, faded brown and tan 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.
