Chic Zeigler Olimpia Brown/Tan Wool Rug - 8'1'' x 10'0''

Pale palmettes and fine stems cover a brown field inside a tan border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. This chic transitional 8x10 area rug comes 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, with green and beige in the details. 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. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 8x10 rug its natural sheen. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. 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 living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The warm brown and tan palette, with touches of green and beige, brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
