Pale blossoms and sweeping vines stand out on a dark aubergine field inside a soft red floral border. The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. It is an eclectic transitional 9x12 area rug in aubergine and dull orange.
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 aubergine field and the dull orange border their depth, with purple and beige used for the detail work. The aubergine 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. 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 9x12 rug its natural sheen. The finished pile is dense and even, soft to walk on, and resilient enough to recover from furniture and daily use. Because the pile lies in one direction, the aubergine field looks a little deeper from one end of the rug and lighter from the other.
It holds a full living room seating group, a dining table for six to eight, or a spacious primary bedroom. The deep aubergine and dull orange palette, with touches of purple and beige, suits contemporary, industrial loft, and modern glam rooms, where it grounds lighter furniture. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
