Willow Oriental Charcoal Hand Knotted Wool RugCharcoal as the primary tone in an oriental rug creates a more contemporary reading than the standard navy, burgundy, or ivory ground it has the depth and authority of a dark background without the traditional color associations. This hand knotted wool rug uses an oriental layout in charcoal and brown tones with green accents that surface within the pattern at closer range, giving the piece more complexity than its overall dark impression suggests.
