Lavastone Gary Rust/Blue Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 8'2'' x 9'4''

Pale blossoms and palmettes are spaced across a soft rust field inside a dark blue floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This 8x9 Lavastone area rug comes in rust and blue.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from durable, hand-spun wool. It is a vintage rug that 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 where the name Lavastone comes from, and it is why the rust field and the blue border look softened, with tan and light gold 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 softened outlines of the flowers and vines are part of the look. 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.
