Vintage Color Reform Mertie Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 6'0'' x 8'9''

Large dark rosettes show through a bright raspberry pink field inside a multi-band border. The pattern is tone on tone, so the rug reads as one color from across the room and shows its detail up close. This 6x9 overdyed area rug comes in pink.

Hand knotted in all natural dyed, hand-spun wool, this rug is one of a kind. Next, it spent three to six months in the sun, where natural sunlight slowly drew out its original colors. It was then overdyed in pink and hand washed, leaving bold, chromatic tones that give a traditional design a completely new, modern life. The dye takes differently on each shade of the original design, which is why the pattern shows through tone on tone instead of disappearing. You may notice lighter and deeper areas of pink across the surface. That layered, uneven color is the signature of an overdyed rug, and together with the hand-tied knots it gives the rug its own personality. The wool pile is dense and soft underfoot, and it stands up well to daily use in busy rooms.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The saturated pink color gives a boho chic, eclectic, or maximalist room its focal point, and it brings energy to a neutral, modern space with white walls and simple furniture.
