Chic Zeigler Sousa Grey/Ivory Wool Rug - 10'1'' x 13'7''

Small blossoms and fine stems are spread across a pale gray-lavender field inside an ivory border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is a chic transitional 10x14 area rug in gray and ivory.

Hand knotted and one of a kind, this wool rug is made from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The gray of the field and the ivory of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants. You may notice an abrash in the gray field, a soft shift in shade within a single color. It comes from hand-spun wool taking natural dye slightly differently from batch to batch, and it is one of the signs of a true handmade rug. Fine hand knotting keeps the small blossoms and curving vines crisp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 10x14 rug its natural sheen. What you get is a dense wool pile with a soft hand, low enough to sit neatly under chairs and doors and sturdy enough for busy rooms. Because the pile lies in one direction, the gray field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The soft gray and ivory palette is a natural fit for Scandinavian, Japandi, and minimalist rooms, where texture and quiet color do the work. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
