Boho Chic Ziegler Dorine Brown/Gray Wool Rug - 9'1'' x 11'4''

Fine curving vines and blossoms cover a brown field inside a gray-toned floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This boho chic transitional 9x11 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 coin gray and rust 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. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 9x11 rug its natural sheen. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Because the pile lies in one direction, the brown 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 warm brown and gray palette, with touches of coin gray and rust, brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The leafy pattern suits transitional and cottage-style rooms.
