Classic Ziegler Bea Red/Blue Wool Rug - 6'0'' x 8'11''

Large palmettes and angular gold stems fill a red field inside a dark blue floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. This classic transitional 6x9 area rug comes in red and blue.

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 red of the field and the blue of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and green and gold pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the red 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 6x9 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 red field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The contrast of red and blue, with touches of green and gold, gives a boho chic or eclectic room its focal point and adds energy to a contemporary space. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
