These rugs are exactly what I wanted.  They are soft even though the nap is short. The colors are lovely and subtle (cool blues, silvery grays, and bits of wine and terra cotta).  As my two photos show, this rug looks good with deeper, as well as lighter, pieces of furniture. I love the weaving technique that makes the rugs look worn and aged—they look antique-ish and expensive, despite their moderate price.  It is rare when you find exactly what you want, but that is the case with this rug purchase.
