I thought I was taking a risk ordering a rug I could not first see and touch. Now I am measuring to add more! This Vintage Medallion rug in soft rose, ivory and buff is a beautiful execution of a traditional pattern, artfully softened to suggest an aged look, delivered in my color palette. There is a little bit of a mottled sheen, depending on the light. This suggests to me the look of an antique silk oriental rug, which will never be in my budget this lifetime. The wrapped binding is a perfect soft rose color match. This is not a thick rug, but is in keeping with the weight of the classic. Shipping from Amazon was fast, perfect and easy, arriving rolled up with no creases and easy to handle. Incredibly happy with this affordable luxury!
