[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Influenster and Solo Rugs in exchange for my honest review. As a busy dad with zero interior design skills, I usually leave the aesthetics to my wife. But with this rug, even I can tell it's a winner. First off, it looks amazing. My wife called it a 'statement piece's and I think that means it makes the room look fancy without me having to understand why. It fits perfectly in the spot I picked out. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if this rug is the reason we don't step on Legos as much anymore. It's durable and holds up to two cats and two kids. Between the kids spilling juice, my cats treating it like a personal racetrack, and me occasionally dropping some coffee, this rug has survived it all. It resists stains like a champ and is super easy to clean-which is great because I'm not exactly in top of vacuuming. Long story short, if you've got a busy family, pets, and questionable decorating skills like myself, this rug is a lifesaver. It looks great, holds up to the chaos, and makes me feel like I actually contributed to the house looking good. Highly recommend!. Nateo2_2975. Fri Jan 24 2025

Beautifully Artistic Antique English Art Deco Design Wilton Rug, Circa Date: 1920.

A modern second quarter 20th-century Chinese oriental rug, the cinnamon field with an overall pattern of floral roundels and leafy vinery with delicate scrolling interlace beneath an overblown contrasting polychromatic bouquet of sensuous blossoms and delicate vinery near the lower right corner. These tend to be more open and spacious than the antique oriental rugs from Western Asia. Maintained mostly in blues, golds, ivories, and beiges, with classical symbols of longevity, elaborate lotus blossoms, chrysanthemums, cloud-band motifs, foo-dogs, and birds, antique Chinese vintage rugs are frequently visible in paintings from as early as the T'ang Period. In contrast to earlier Chinese antique rugs, the twentieth-century Chinese Art Deco rugs can be quite spare in design and quite radical in color, catering to the western taste shaped by the birth of the modernist movement. They are often comprised of geometric or abstract patterns. The most recognizable rugs from the 1920s and 1930 were made by Walter Nichols – the American who manufactured deco carpets in Tientsin.

Samarkand rugs are distinguished by a unique fashion integrating numerous influences from various weaving schools, including Persian, Turkish Chinese, and Indian. Such diversity stems from the fact that the oasis city used to be located at the famous Silk Route, at the junction of different oriental cultures, and absorbed a bit from each and every one of them resulting in one and only, free-spirited Samarkand style. Here, we have an excellent example of this wonderful eclecticism. This vintage rug bears typically to Samarkand, bold circular medallions with a special rectangular medallion in the middle.

A late 19th-century Antique rug, the shaded cocoa brownfield with an allover pattern of enlarged polychrome floral sprays. The Savonnerie rug factory, located on the site of the present Musee d’Art Moderne, inherited its name from the soap-making factory it took over at the behest of Louis XIII. From 1660 until 1743 Savonnerie was a manufacturer of royale, carrying out commissions for French Aubusson rugs and Aubusson carpets specifically designed for the Royal Palaces. In the 1770s, the tapestry looms at Aubusson in the Cruze Valley near Limoges were converted to produce flat-woven antique rugs and carpets under royal warrant. No one knows precisely when European rugs weaving began in this area, but it is certain that tapestries were first woven there long before the Gothic era.
