“I have been searching for a rug that we lost during Katrina. I had just purchased
the rug a couple of months before the storm. Now that my home is nearly finished I was in
pursuit of replacing the exact rug. Your website was considerable lower in price.
When you are having to rebuild your home every dollar counts. Thank you”
The Mirage Collection by Couristan. While most rugs are woven from top to bottom, fringe to fringe, Mirage rugs are "cross-woven" or woven sideways, on Wilton looms. This technique allows for the use of up to 24 colors creating ultra fine detail and a beautiful "abrash" effect. These subtle color variations commonly found in handmade rugs are a direct result of cross-weaving. Mirage's lush fringe is not added or sewn on, but is actually a continuation of the strong backing yarn of the rug, subsequently, all Mirage rugs are hand finished. A unique drop stitch effect and multi-point weaving add to the texture and dense pile that is characteristic of this 100% New Zealand semi-worsted wool area rug collection. Let the mystique of the Mirage Collection transform everyday rooms into magical places.
