Bold interlacing bands and blossoms cover a dark brown field inside a gray-toned floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This eclectic transitional 6x9 area rug comes in brown and gray.
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 brown field and the gray border their depth, with green and gold used for the detail work. The brown 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 vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their lines clean. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 5'10'' x 8'8''. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the brown tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.
Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The rich brown and gray tones, with touches of green and gold, give an eclectic or boho chic room its focal point, and they add warmth to modern farmhouse and industrial loft spaces. The leafy pattern suits transitional and cottage-style rooms.
