I am a lover of old antique rugs, but I do not love their price tag! After searching many websites and pages of rugs, finding beautiful patterns but not loving the colors, I stumbled upon this one. I was elated to find such a beautiful, rug with a mature color scheme! It is a stunning rug that pulls my living room together and is VERY soft. I love that the pile isn't TOO high. It's just right. HIGHLY recommend this beauty!
