Classic Ziegler Enedina Green/Red Wool Rug - 11'10'' x 17'10''

A dense pattern of small blossoms covers an olive green field inside a red floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This classic transitional 12x18 area rug comes in green and red.

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 green field and the red border their depth, with gold and blue used for the detail work. The green 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 12x18 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 large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In green and red, with touches of gold and blue, this rug suits eclectic, bohemian, and maximalist interiors, and it brings color to a neutral, modern room. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
