Classic Ziegler Hertha Tan/Green Wool Rug - 10'0'' x 13'8''

Tiny, evenly spaced motifs dot a tan field inside a soft green border. The regular repeat gives the rug a tailored, orderly feel. It is a classic transitional 10x14 area rug in tan and green.

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 tan of the field and the green of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and blue and brown pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the tan 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. Fine hand knotting keeps the rows of small motifs even. Once the 10x14 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen. 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In tan and green, with touches of blue and brown, this rug suits warm minimalist, modern organic, and coastal interiors, and it sits easily beside light wood and linen. The small repeat reads as tailored, which suits transitional and classic-modern rooms.
