LOVE the pattern on this rug. I am in the process of furnishing an entire HUGE house. Working with a designer - trying to blend the old with the new. That was the reason for this rug. It is in a bathroom with some older fixtures that we aren't ready to update yet, but it does a great job bringing in that color from the antique brass fixtures, but updating the coloring to be lighter and brighter. I'm very happy with this.
