Overdyed Michelin Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 8'10'' x 11'7''

A field of deep, dusky purple covers the whole rug, with only a trace of pattern. There is no motif to compete with your furniture, only color and texture. It is a 9x12 overdyed area rug in purple.

Hand knotted in all natural dyed, hand-spun wool, this rug is one of a kind. It was then sun faded for three to six months, harnessing the sun's natural energy to gently neutralize its original colors. Artisans then overdyed it in purple and washed it by hand, bringing out rich, chromatic hues that turn a classic rug into an original work of art. The dye takes a little differently from knot to knot, which is what gives the color its fine streaks and depth instead of a flat, printed look. You may notice lighter and deeper areas of purple across the surface. That layered, uneven color is the signature of an overdyed rug, and together with the hand-tied knots it gives the rug its own personality. Underfoot the wool pile is soft and dense, made to handle daily use in busy rooms.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The saturated purple color gives a boho chic, eclectic, or maximalist room its focal point, and it brings energy to a neutral, modern space with white walls and simple furniture.
