Tribal Shawl Ada Vegetable Dyed Wool Rug - 5'8''X7'9''

Rows of red, ivory, navy and orange bands, filled with curling hook motifs, zigzags and dotted lines, run across the field inside a soft blue border. The repeating bands give it a relaxed, collected look. This 6x8 Shawl rug comes in red and blue.

The Shawl design borrows from the striped weavings of Central Asia, where each band can hold its own pattern and color. The curling, wave-like motifs in many of the bands give this rug more movement than the straight-lined Shawl pieces. The pale blue border softens the warm reds inside. It was hand knotted in Afghanistan from luxurious hand-spun wool, colored with all vegetable dyes, so each band shows gentle shifts in shade, a natural effect called abrash. The wool has a soft natural sheen and a durable pile that stands up well to daily use.

It works well in a living room seating area, a bedroom, a home office or a dining nook. Its striped tribal look suits bohemian, rustic, Southwestern and transitional rooms, and it pairs easily with solid furniture and natural wood. It is a timeless piece that adds warmth and character to any room.
