Boho Chic Ziegler Ethelyn Red/Ivory Wool Round - 8'0'' x 8'3''

Gold blossoms on curving vines cover a red field inside an ivory floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a boho chic traditional 8x8 round rug in red and ivory.

Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool round rug is made from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The red of the field and the ivory of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and gold and blue pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the red 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. 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 8x8 round rug its 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. Because the pile lies in one direction, the red field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

It makes a good accent under a side table, a plant stand, or in a reading corner. The warm red and ivory palette, with touches of gold and blue, 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.
