Modern Ziegler Jeanene Tan/Black Wool Rug - 5'10'' x 8'9''

Rows of small black squares and short dashes frame a tan field of tiny tonal squares. The simple geometry brings structure to a room without feeling busy. It is a modern 6x9 area rug in tan and black.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool, and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. The dyes give the pile an abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The soft tan and black palette, with a touch of beige, is a natural fit for Scandinavian, Japandi, and minimalist rooms, where texture and quiet color do the work. The simple geometry suits mid-century modern and minimalist furniture.
