I love this rug! I ordered the 8x11 size.  Shipping was so quick!  This rug looks like overpriced Oriental-style rugs sold by Pottery Barn, etc.   The outer framing isn't a brown, but looks it from a distance.  The actual mixture of fibers is dark purple and navy that mix to a true neutral color.   Adds color to the room, but in class neutral tones of the colors.  It is a pattern that could work with many décor styles: antiques, traditional, contemporary.  So happy with the price!
