Rows of small medallions in red and ivory repeat across a bright blue field inside an ivory floral border. The bold medallions give the floor a strong, balanced rhythm. This classic transitional 8x10 area rug comes in blue and ivory.
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 ivory of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and rust and green 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 medallions are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines clean. Once the 8x10 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.
Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. In blue and ivory, with touches of rust and green, this rug gives a boho chic or eclectic room a focal point, and it sits just as well in a coastal or transitional space. The bold medallions pair well with solid upholstery and simple lines.
