Classic Ziegler Sommer Brown/Tan Wool Rug - 7'10'' x 9'6''

Square panels, each holding an hourglass motif, form a tidy grid in brown and tan. The ordered pattern brings structure to a room without feeling busy. It is a classic transitional 8x10 area rug in brown and tan.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, color the brown field and the tan border. Look for the abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It tends to show most in larger areas of one color, such as the brown field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. Each panel is knotted by eye, so the grid stays regular without looking printed. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 7'10'' x 9'6''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. 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 tan tones give an eclectic or boho chic room its focal point, and they add warmth to modern farmhouse and industrial loft spaces. The grid of panels suits mid-century modern and modern farmhouse furniture.
