This rug gets a reaction every time. It's beautiful. I have it in a lake cottage bedroom, so it doesn't get a lot of traffic and we've only had it about a month, but I'm sure I will be as happy in a year as I am now. Love it. It's hard to tell even up close what accent colors are in, a think a sage shade. The red and gold is vibrant. Looks rich but homey in our cottage.
