Because the design is tone-on-tone, the color leads and the pattern is a quiet second layer. It is a 4x6 overdyed area rug in orange.

Hand-knotted in all-natural dyed, hand-spun wool, this rug is one of a kind. It was then sun-faded for three to six months, harnessing the sun's natural energy to neutralize its original colors gently. Artisans then overdyed it in orange 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 orange 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. Underfoot, the wool pile is soft and dense, made to handle daily use in busy rooms.

It works well in a living room seating area, a bedroom, a dining nook, or a home office. The saturated orange 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
