Chic Ziegler Slater Blue/Beige Wool Rug - 8'2'' x 10'0''

Swirling, marbled bands of blue, beige and brown flow across the field like poured paint. No part of the pattern repeats, so it reads a little differently from every side of the room. It is a chic modern 8x10 area rug in blue and beige.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from a blend of hand-spun local wool and fine merino wool, and colored with natural vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. The dyes give the pile an abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen and a soft, comfortable feel underfoot.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The cool blue and beige palette, with touches of brown and gray, suits coastal, Scandinavian, and contemporary rooms, where it reads as a calm accent. The painterly design sits well with contemporary art and maximalist layers.
