The pattern is tone-on-tone, so the rug reads as one color from across the room and shows its detail up close. This 8x10 overdyed area rug comes in green and gold.

Hand-knotted in all-natural dyes, hand-spun wool and silk, this rug is one of a kind. It was then sun-faded for three to six months, harnessing the sun's natural energy to gently neutralize its original colors. Artisans then overdyed it in green and washed it by hand, bringing out rich, chromatic hues that turn a classic rug into an original work of art. The dye takes differently on each shade of the original design, which is why the pattern shows through tone-on-tone instead of disappearing. You may notice lighter and deeper areas of green across the surface. That layered, uneven color is the signature of an overdyed rug, and together with the hand-tied knots, it gives the rug its own personality. The wool pile is dense and soft underfoot, and it stands up well to daily use in busy rooms. Silk in the pile adds a gentle sheen that shifts as you walk around it.

It anchors a living room seating group, a bedroom, or a dining room. The saturated green and gold color gives a boho chic, eclectic, or maximalist room its focal point, and it brings energy to a neutral, modern space with white walls and simple furniture. See less
