Eclectic Ziegler Shanelle Blue/Beige Wool Rug - 10'1'' x 13'11''

Fine curving vines with a few red blossoms cover a dark blue field inside a beige-accented floral border. The all-over design has no center, which makes furniture placement easy. This eclectic transitional 10x14 area rug comes in blue and beige.

This handmade wool rug is one of a kind, hand knotted from hand-spun, natural vegetable dyed wool in a mix of merino, New Zealand, and Ghazni wool. The vegetable dyes, extracted from local plants, give the blue field and the beige border their depth, with navy and rust used for the detail work. The blue field may show an abrash, a gentle change of shade within one color. It is normal in handmade rugs, because hand-spun wool takes natural dye a little differently from batch to batch. The curves of the vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their lines clean. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 10'1'' x 13'11''. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the blue tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.

Use it as a large living room rug, under a dining table that seats eight, or in a great room. The blue and beige tones, with touches of navy and rust, work in contemporary, coastal, and mid-century modern interiors, and they pair easily with gray, white, and natural wood. The leafy pattern suits transitional and cottage-style rooms.
