Retro Vintage Fuller Blue/Brown Wool Rug - 8'0'' x 11'2''

A pale octagonal medallion sits on a blue field of vines and blossoms, inside a soft brown floral border. The medallion gives the room a natural focal point. This 8x11 vintage hand painted area rug comes in blue 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 blue field and the brown border got their fresh, modern palette 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 blue and brown palette suits eclectic, bohemian, and contemporary rooms, and it pairs well with white walls, natural wood, and brass.
