Kilim Natural Dye Rugs

DESCRIPTION: This heirloom-quality rug in deep burnt orange tones with hints of yellow, pale turquoise and cream is perfect for a small space, under a side table, an entryway or by a kitchen sink. Kilim rugs are handwoven and hard-wearing. The wool is naturally dyed from hand-gathered raw materials, supplemented by already mixed indigos and cochineal, to deepen these natural colors. These versatile rugs bring a warm elegance to any room. Each rug is one of a kind. Colors and patterns vary from rug to rug, making yours uniquely yours. Photos show examples; the rug you receive will have its own distinct combination of colors and patterns.
