Hand Carved Over-Dyed Rug 5' 8" x 9' (68" x 108")

Our new Over-dyed Hand Carved Collection is part of our popular Over-Dyed Rugs series. For a contemporary look with Oriental appeal, this over-dyed rug is skillfully crafted by the revitalization of a genuine hand-knotted vintage Turkish rug woven in the second half of the 20th century.
We take the original colors off the rugs and we breathe new life into them with fresh tones. What makes the Hand Carved Collection truly outstanding is the process of carving the original pattern out of the pile. With this unique look, our Hand Carved Collection rugs can be considered a piece of contemporary art and will fit perfectly into any contemporary interior design. Made from 100% wool on cotton, this "distressed" rug measures 5' 8" x 9' (68" x 108").
