Persian Overdyed Teal & Blue Hand-Knotted Wool Rug 9' x 12'

Teal and blue meet in this Persian-style overdyed rug, hand-knotted from wool and sized at 9' x 12'. The overdyed finish gives the traditional pattern a softer, vintage-like color, and the cool shades suit rooms with plenty of daylight. It is a rug for a large living room or an open-plan space where the floor has to tie several areas together.

Material and make

These rugs hold their shape and cope with heavy foot traffic, and the slow work of knotting is the reason. Each knot is tied by hand around the warp threads on an upright loom, and the pile is sheared even afterwards. Wool is resilient, warm and springy, and early loose fiber clears with vacuuming.

In the room

At this scale the rug suits a spacious bedroom or open-plan area where all the furniture can sit fully on it. In a big living room, it lets the sofa, chairs and coffee table share one surface. Warm wood, cream walls and copper or brass accents balance the cool teal, and a pair of white lamps keeps the mood light.

Care

Use a vacuum with no beater bar, give the rug a half turn every six months, and blot spills promptly. Slight differences in dimensions and color are normal for handmade rugs.
