About rugs

The present demand for borderless rugs and carpet-by-the-yard has necessitated rearranging many of the original Eng­lish and French designs, because often they were not repeat­ing motifs and almost always were framed by a border. This adaptation of historic furnishings to suit modern living is done in furniture and fabric design as well, and is a legitimate practice.

A few Victorian florals are available. These enormous flower arrangements in rich colors are faithful copies of the superb printed velvets of nineteenth century England and America.

See Some of these beautiful floral carpets-by-the-yard are im­ported from Scotland; some are made in our own country.

Chenille rugs in period designs are practically always made to order.

They are ideally suited to this purpose because a rug can be made any length and up to thirty feet in width. Individ­ual designs are created to suit special rooms, and the number of colors is unlimited. Styles which are out of fashion, and con­sequently not unavailable in current stock carpets, can always be obtained in a special order chenille.
