Rows of small floral panels fill a red field, framed by a soft green and gold floral border. The geometric layout gives it a clean, graphic look. It is an eclectic transitional 9x12 area rug in red 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 red of the field and the green of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and blue and tan 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. Hand knotting keeps the edges of each small panel straight and even. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 9'0'' x 12'0''. 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. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the red tones shift slightly as you walk around the rug and as the light changes.
It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The mix of red and green, with touches of blue and tan, works in contemporary and mid-century modern rooms, and it ties warm wood tones to cooler upholstery. The grid of panels suits mid-century modern and modern farmhouse furniture.
