Nourison Opal/Grey Timeless Area Rug - TML20

Nourison Opal/Grey Timeless Area Rug - TML20

Truly timeless, these designs date back as far as the 15th Century and have graced the palaces of ancient aristocracy and royalty. Nourison's talented designers and master craftsmen have reimagined those precious heirlooms - now only seen in museums and private collections - reproducing their spectacular detail and color to enrich the homes of today. In depth of color, detail of design, and pure artistry, the Timeless Collection recreates the opulence of the past for today's discerning decorators.

The original 17th century Herati carpet inspiring this design hails from Eastern Persia, where it once graced an Imperial palace. In the antique piece, a symmetrical field of flowers extends from a lozenge shaped central motif. Large blossoms are disposed at intervals on stems bearing smaller blossoms, leaves and buds, in an array of deep reds, blues and browns sparked with lighter tones and white on a deep red inner field. Symmetrically balanced around a lozenge-shaped center like the original, the new Nourison version is even more richly populated with floral motifs, creating a marvelous air of overflowing beauty that celebrates the life force in nature. Resplendent in golden tones and sparkling opalescent grey on a stunning sienna-red ground, the rug is masterfully patinated with Nourison's proprietary methods for an authentic antique appearance.
