Oriental Ziegler Ross Brown/Tan Wool Rug - 6'0'' x 8'11''

A soft, tone-on-tone pattern of small blossoms covers a pale brown field with tan detail. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is an oriental transitional 6x9 area rug 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 blue 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. Fine hand knotting keeps the small blossoms and curving vines crisp. Once the 6x9 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. In brown and tan, with a touch of blue, this rug suits bohemian, global, and rustic modern interiors, and it warms up a mid-century modern room. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
