Boho Chic Ziegler Genie Red/Olive Green Wool Rug - 8'11'' x 11'5''

Large palmettes and flowering stems fill a red field, framed by an olive green border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. It is a boho chic transitional 9x11 area rug in red and olive green.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool rug is hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool, a blend of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, color the red field and the olive green border, with rust red and navy blue in the details. Look for the abrash, a gentle shift in shade within a single color. It tends to show most in larger areas of one color, such as the red field here, and it happens because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. Once the 9x11 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. In red and olive green, with touches of rust red and navy blue, this rug suits eclectic, bohemian, and maximalist interiors, and it brings color to a neutral, modern room. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
