This majestic modern area rug is truly soulful and royal. It is so because the carpet combines the features of both Bessarabian sentimentality and French palatial elegance. The pitch-black background is a nod to Eastern-European aesthetics, the same association applies to some of the flower motifs, whereas the overall intricate and sublime gold-brown foliage pattern can be definitely linked to Aubusson or Savonnerie's abundant creations. However, this exquisite Safavieh Tibetan rug was not made in any part of Europe. It was masterly hand-executed of the finest wool by the hands of skilled Tibetan weavers according to old and refined weaving techniques. Its soft and firm pile tells more than any words ever would - the rug is extremely qualitative and has a chance to please the hands, eyes, and feet of lucky owners for generations. This contemporary piece brings the best of the past to the present and will be a gem of any interior, especially Hollywood Regency-style or eclectically designed with a mix of modern and antique elements.
