The pattern runs across the whole field, so it looks balanced from any angle. This oriental transitional 10x14 area rug comes in black and orange.

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 black of the field and the orange of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and rust and tan pick out the smaller motifs. You may notice an abrash in the black 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. 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 10x14 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 black 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 black and orange palette, with touches of rust and tan, suits contemporary, industrial loft, and modern glam rooms, where it grounds lighter furniture. The flowers soften clean-lined, modern furniture.
