Artisan Overdyed Kathalee Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 7'8'' x 9'8''

An open purple field with a faint floral shadow sits inside a frame of plain bands in dark blue-gray and pale gray. The frame outlines the center the way a mat frames a picture. This 8x10 overdyed area rug comes in purple and blue.

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 purple and washed, revealing deep, vibrant hues that make each piece a one-of-a-kind work of art. The center and the frame took the dye differently, which is what gives the border its contrast. 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. The wool pile is dense and soft underfoot, and it stands up well to daily use in busy rooms.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The saturated purple and blue 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.
