Silk Rug
This Chinese silk rug will make your foyer look even
warmer and more welcoming. Traditional motifs of beautiful Chinese
women in traditional clothes mingle with classic blossoms and
vines. A palette of wine, teal, ginger, olive, and touches of
black gives this rug unusual depth and sophistication. The extraordinary
color variation and definition of each flower on our silk rug
is what makes it so unique.
