Blue vase-shaped motifs and blossoms sit on a beige field with shaped ends, inside a turquoise-toned border. The bold medallions give the floor a strong, balanced rhythm. This chic transitional 9x11 area rug comes in beige and turquoise.
Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The beige of the field and the turquoise of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and orange and dark green pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the beige 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 medallions are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines clean. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 9x11 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 beige field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.
Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. The soft beige and turquoise palette, with touches of orange and dark green, is a natural fit for Scandinavian, Japandi, and minimalist rooms, where texture and quiet color do the work. The bold medallions pair well with solid upholstery and simple lines.
