Rows of round, quartered medallions repeat across a bright red field inside a rust geometric border. The medallion design gives the room a natural focal point. This chic transitional 6x8 area rug comes in red and rust.
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 rust of the border come from vegetable dyes extracted from local plants, and blue and green 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. Fine hand knotting keeps each medallion sharp against the field. Once the 6x8 rug is off the loom, the pile is trimmed to a moderate thickness, then stone-washed and sun-dried for a 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. The natural lanolin in the wool helps the pile shed dust and resist everyday soiling, so it stays fresh with regular vacuuming.
It works well in a living room seating area, a bedroom, a dining nook, or a home office. In red and rust, with touches of blue and green, this rug suits bohemian, global, and rustic modern interiors, and it warms up a mid-century modern room. The bold medallions pair well with solid upholstery and simple lines.
