Vintage Distressed Sherice Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 8'1'' x 9'11''

Large tone-on-tone blossoms and leaves spread softly across a gold field. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is an 8x10 vintage distressed area rug in gold.

Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made from durable, hand-spun wool. It is vintage by age and 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 gold field and border look softened, with brass and light brown in the details. You may notice an abrash in the gold 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. Because the pile is so low, the surface is smooth and refined. It sits flat under doors and furniture, suits 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 gold 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.
