This is a beautiful beige, blue, and brown color, and craft design hand tufted hand made oriental 100% wool rug. The story behind the art originated as a protest against mass-produced inferior factory products of the 19th century, the arts and crafts movement favored originality and craftsmanship. William Morris, the main proponent of the movement, emphasized the use of handcrafts over the use of machinery and introduced a new design sensibility that evoked nature in home interiors through furniture, upholstery, wallpaper, and rugs with intricate intertwining fruit, flower, and foliage patterns. The popularity of Morris’s rug designs has endured to the current times and stands emblematic of art & crafts rugs with their simple, bold, informal design themes rooted in nature. Today, the arts & crafts rugs embrace a multitude of styles ranging from the art nouveau style (rug patterns with flowing, curvilinear lines and nature-inspired, floral designs), mission style as well as geometric patterns inspired by native american designs, American prairie style and caucasian rugs (hand-knotted rugs made in a small, middle-eastern region called the Caucasus). Arts and crafts rugs' natural motifs and interesting color palettes add to their versatility and enduring charm. Made by skilled craftsmen, the rug is a beautiful symphony of bold motifs, stunning colors, and consummate artisanship. This rug represents an illustrious legacy of exquisite artistry and the intricate craftsmanship is primed to add visual glamor and class to its surroundings. Its soft texture and timeless design make it ideal to enhance any space where it is placed.
