Overdyed Persian Doug Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 5'11'' x 8'8''

A fine grid of small squares covers a rust-red field, with a few pale motifs scattered across it. Because the design is tone on tone, the color leads and the pattern is a quiet second layer. It is a 6x9 overdyed area rug in rust and orange.

Hand knotted in all natural dyed, hand-spun wool, this rug is one of a kind. The rug was then sun faded for three to six months, so the sun's energy could organically soften its original colors. Once neutralized, it was overdyed in rust and washed, revealing deep, vibrant hues that make each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art. The dye takes differently on each shade of the original design, which is why the pattern shows through tone on tone instead of disappearing. You may notice lighter and deeper areas of rust 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 anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The saturated rust and orange 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.
