Bohemian Ziegler Linn Blue/Gold Wool Rug - 9'10'' x 13'6''

Large gold blossoms and feathery leaves spread across a blue field inside a wide gold border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a bohemian transitional 10x14 area rug in blue and gold.

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 blue of the field and the gold of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and brown and beige pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the blue 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. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 10x14 rug its 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. Because the pile lies in one direction, the blue field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. The contrast of blue and gold, with touches of brown and beige, gives a boho chic or eclectic room its focal point and adds energy to a contemporary space. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
