A dark angular medallion sits on an open rust-orange field, with dark blue corner pieces and a rust border. The medallion gives the room a natural focal point. It is an 8x11 vintage distressed area rug in rust and blue.
Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made from durable, hand-spun wool. It is vintage by age and has never been used. To give it the look of an antique, the pile was rubbed down by hand with lava stone, again and again, until it was low and gently worn. That is why the rust field and the blue border look softened, with beige and green in the details. You may notice an abrash in the rust field, a soft shift in shade within a single color. Together with the artisan-tied knots and the small irregularities of handmade work, it gives the rug its own personality. The medallion keeps its shape while its edges are gently softened. Because the pile is so low, the surface is smooth and refined. It sits flat under doors and furniture, suits high-traffic rooms, and its worn-in texture hides everyday footprints.
It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The warm, faded rust and blue palette suits bohemian, rustic modern, and traditional rooms, and it pairs well with leather, walnut, and aged brass. The lava stone finish adds antique-style character without the wear of a rug that has actually been walked on for decades.
