Item Description
Karastan have been innovators since 1928, the year American retailer and textile manufacturer Marshall Field built a loom capable of recreating the detailed craftsmanship of a hand-woven rug. From the moment the first Karastan came off the loom (2:02 p.m., April 8, 1928), its name became synonymous with elegant machine-made rugs that rivaled their handmade counterparts. So far advanced was the new manufacturing process that the trade press referred to these rugs as "Mystery Rugs." To share the "mystery" of these rugs with the public, Karastan created a large version of its Kirman pattern for the 1933-34 World's Fair in Chicago. But instead of putting it on display so visitors could simply admire its beauty, Karastan did the unthinkable. They invited the world to walk on it, and so the world did.
Karastan is offering a custom bound area rug, inspired by the handcrafted moldings and woodworkings found in the National Trust historic site Drayton Hall. Created in the Trellis Design, the rug is 8 x 11 feet and made from wear dated nylon. Shipping is included in this offer!
