Design & Artistry The rug features a sophisticated all-over pattern of horizontal micro-stripes. The background is a clean, neutral cream/beige, beautifully broken by multi-colored striations. Because the yarn is hand-spun and vegetable-dyed, it features stunning abrash (natural, organic color variations) across the earthy terracottas, muted blues, charcoal, and soft green tones. No two lines are perfectly identical, showcasing the authentic charm of a true artisan piece. Texture & Construction Woven in the classic Gabbeh style, this rug boasts a thick, plush, and dense wool pile that offers incredible comfort underfoot. The underside clearly displays individual hand-tied knots with no artificial latex backings or glues. The fringe is fully integrated, extending naturally from the warp threads of the rug itself.VersatilityMeasuring 4' 10" x 3' 4", this highly versatile accent piece is perfectly sized for: An elegant entry hallway or foyer anchor A luxury accent under a desk in a home office A warm, grounding bedside rug The back of the rug confirms that this is a genuine, authentic hand-knotted rug. How to Tell from the BackIndividual Knots: You can see each distinct knot clearly on the underside. Lack of Backing: There is no canvas, mesh, or latex glued to the back, which is standard for machine-made rugs.
