Chic Zeigler Heike Gold/Brown Wool Rug - 6'1'' x 8'10''

Rows of pale diamond medallions repeat across a soft gold field inside a brown floral border. The bold medallions give the floor a strong, balanced rhythm. It is a chic transitional 6x9 area rug in gold and brown.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool in a mix of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, give the gold field and the brown border their depth. The gold field may show an abrash, a gentle change of shade within one color. It is normal in handmade rugs, because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The medallions are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines clean. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 6x9 rug its natural sheen. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Because the pile lies in one direction, the gold 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 gold and brown palette brings a boho chic, eclectic feel to a room and pairs well with leather, walnut, and brass. The medallion design suits transitional rooms and symmetrical furniture layouts.
