Retro Vintage Soares Tan/Brown Wool Rug - 8'0'' x 11'0''

A dark blue and purple medallion sits on an ivory-tan field, with brown floral corners and a brown border. The medallion gives the room a natural focal point. This 8x11 vintage hand painted area rug comes in tan and brown.

This one-of-a-kind rug began as a vintage, hand knotted wool rug in a classic Persian design. To give it a second life, it was laid out in the sun to soften its original colors, and the pile was then sheared low by hand, which gives the surface its gently worn, distressed look. Artisans then painted new color into the pile by hand, area by area, following the lines of the original drawing. That is how the tan field and the brown border got their fresh, modern palette, with gray and purple in the details, while the classic design stayed fully in place. Finally the rug was washed to set the color and soften the wool. Because every step is done by hand, small shifts in shade and texture are part of the look, not flaws. The low pile makes a smooth surface that sits flat under doors and furniture and suits busy rooms.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The warm tan and brown palette suits bohemian, eclectic, and mid-century modern rooms, and it brings color to a neutral space without losing the classic look.
