Antique Rugs
A question that frequently arises when people consider purchasing a rug
is whether to buy an antique rug or a new one. Design preference immediately
becomes a factor since antique carpets are generally available only in traditional
styles.
Even if you prefer the tradtional look, your choice will necessarily
be limited to a much narrower variety of colors and designs than what
is available in current production.
Usage is another crucial factor in determining whether an antique is
for you. Do you have an appropriate place in your home to display a beautiful
but somewhat fragile artifact? A bedroom might be a good location, but
probably not an entrance hall. Lastly, do you know what you are buying?
Do you personally have the expertise to identify a fine antique and determine
its value? Do you know someone who does? These are simple but serious
issues you will want to address before considering the purchase of an
antique rug.
On the other hand, when you decide to buy a new rug, your choice of
style, color, and fabrication is virtually unlimited. Moreover, you can
select the construction best suited to the traffic level in any given
area of your home. Finally, you can rely on fairly standardized pricing
among reputable retailers for the particular type of rug you select.
If you prefer contemporary design, today's market offers you a wealth
of high fashion options. From Nourison, you can choose the sophisticated
abstract looks of the GuggenheimModern Collection, the striking faux skin
motifs of the Radiance Collection, or the dramatically stylized North
African influences of the Kalahari Collection, to name but a few.
As for more traditional tastes, Nourison offers more than
thirty collections that feature historic designs from China and the
Middle East. Many of
these have been recreated in updated color palettes that give a fresh
and distinctive accent to designs that have been revered as classics
for hundreds of years. From the exquisitely detailed Persian motifs
of the
Nourison 2000 Collection to the regal elegance of the Sixteenth Century
Collection to the richly authentic documentary appeal of the Nourmak
Collection, these rugs can truly be described as "tomorrow's heirlooms."
