Traditional rugs usually draw inspiration from Persian and Oriental patterns or Victorian and European styles. They are usually ornate and intricate in markings and color with rich details. Traditional rugs have a classic soft, pure wool pile and are ideal for adding a more formal feeling to the room. They also form great heirloom pieces. Originally, traditional rugs were made from animal skin and woven reeds, but they have evolved into various materials, designs, shapes and sizes.
Traditional rugs have sophisticated connotations and designs that resemble floral arrangements, octagonal shapes or medallions boasting diamond. Their color palette, such as deep sage, rich maroon, opulent navy and warm beige with hints of black, are fused to form luxurious floor coverings.
Meticulously crafted. Unique. One-of-a-kind designs. These are just a few words that come to mind describing all of Lawrence of La Brea’s Handmade area rugs.
Handmade area rugs are created from many different areas around the world. Rugs from Persia and India, and of course, Oriental rugs are a few of the most recognizable and most often instantly come to mind when you think of a handmade rug.
All Lawrence of La Brea handmade rugs reflect unparalleled craftsmanship: intricate details and motifs; personal stories of the weaver, the tribe, the region where the rug originated, make each handmade rug special. These rugs aren’t perfect by design…they are designed to tell a story.
Handmade rugs are available in a multitude of fabrics from cotton and chenille, from wool to silk. Every handmade rug is knotted by hand; therefore, the knots and weaving are not perfectly uniform.
