It is a classic transitional 9x12 area rug in tan and red.

This one-of-a-kind, handmade wool and silk 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 tan field and the red border, with green and beige in the details. Silk blended into the pile adds a soft sheen to the finer 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 tan 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. The pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a natural sheen across the full 9'1'' x 11'8''. The result is a dense, even wool pile that feels soft underfoot, springs back under furniture, and stands up to everyday foot traffic. Like all hand knotted wool, the pile has a nap, so the tan 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 calm tan and red tones, with touches of green and beige, work in Scandinavian and modern farmhouse rooms, and give a quiet-luxury feel under neutral upholstery. The floral pattern leans transitional and suits cottage and grandmillennial rooms too.
