An oval wreath of flowers frames small scattered sprigs on a rust field, inside a black border of scrolling vines. The bold medallions give the floor a strong, balanced rhythm. This bohemian transitional 6x9 area rug comes in rust and black.
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 rust of the field and the black of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and blue and tan pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the rust 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. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 6'3'' x 8'10''. 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. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the rust 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 rust and black tones, with touches of blue and tan, give an eclectic or boho chic room its focal point, and they add warmth to modern farmhouse and industrial loft spaces. The bold medallions pair well with solid upholstery and simple lines.
