Artisan Overdyed Skelton Hand Knotted Wool Rug - 7'10'' x 9'8''

A bright purple field with a faint floral shadow sits inside a wide border of dark blossoms. Because the design is tone on tone, the color leads and the pattern is a quiet second layer. It is an 8x10 overdyed area rug in purple and black.

Hand knotted in all natural dyed, hand-spun wool, this rug is one of a kind. It was then sun faded for three to six months, harnessing the sun's natural energy to gently neutralize its original colors. Artisans then overdyed it in purple and washed it by hand, bringing out rich, chromatic hues that turn a classic rug into an original 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 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. 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 purple and black 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.
