Rugs we have or had recently
| Classic
From elegant to casual, nothing creates
character and warmth in a room like an oriental rug. This is why interior
designers are taught to design a room "from the ground up". If you
think oriental rugs are dark and formal, expect a very pleasant surprise!
|  | Tibetan and Contemporary
Tibetan rugs are woven on the "roof of the
world", the Himalayan mountains. Due to the severe climate, the sheep
develop resilient, thick coats. Tibetan rugs combine the softest wool in the
world with the uniquely ribbed texture of the Tibetan weave. Whether the designs
are casual or contemporary, the result is sensational-- to the eyes... and the
toes.
|  | Turkish, Tribal, and Geometric
The beauty of these pieces lies
in their simple, spontaneous designs and vibrant colors. Most are woven with
wool that is carded and spun by hand then dyed naturally with roots and herbs.
Because of this, given colors show delightful variance throughout the rug,
called abrash.
