Oriental Ziegler Laurena Beige/Green Wool Rug - 8'1'' x 9'8''

Fine stems and small blossoms cover a beige field inside a soft green floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is an oriental transitional 8x10 area rug in beige and green.

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 beige of the field and the green of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and turquoise and red pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the beige 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. The curves of the flowers and vines are drawn knot by knot, which keeps their outlines sharp. After knotting, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried, which gives this 8x10 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 beige field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.

Use it as a living room rug, under a dining table, or in a spacious bedroom. The soft beige and green palette, with touches of turquoise and red, 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.
