After extensive searching, I settled on the Daveney Area Purple rug.  It is the perfect color for my decor.  Although the rug is mostly dark blue and magenta, it does translate to purple as you can see by how well it matches my royal purple chairs. Since, it really won’t get foot traffic, I did not opt for a pad, although I would recommend that in another situation.  They arrived in perfect condition and the curled corners took a few days to relax, thanks to some heavy art history text books!
