Safavieh Couture Zeigler Mahal Hand-Knotted Oushak Red/ Navy Wool Area Rug (9' x 12')
This is lovely rug. The center background is a rusty red (not rust, a red that is rusty/orangish), and the border is a dark, almost black, navy. The palette is not as rich as it appears on screen. The rest of the colors are various shades of beige, ranging from quite light straight beige to yellowish beige to brownish beige; one shade looks vaguely pinkish in some light. The pile is pretty short, and because the rug is woven, it has no backing. A good pad makes it feel soft and luxurious under socked feet, but the wool surface is scratchy to the touch. We purchased the rug to go in a den and are quite pleased with it, though we would have liked it even more if its palette were richer and its surface softer. This is our second rug to purchase from Great Offer Stock. Thank you Overstock!
