The patterns of the Antoinette Collection are taken from 18th century French drawings. The rugs are luster washed three times for a rich patina. 1/2" pile height of three-ply pure wool yarns. Intricate hand work in creating a three dimensional design over the center of the rugs, while a cut pile border in rope, vines and flowers conveys elegance to the overall motif. Applicable in formal as well as French Country motifs.
