“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”
Traditions Made Modern™, which is
a lifestyle collection that reflects the meeting and melding of the
diverse cultures that have resided or passed through New Mexico over
the past 400 years. The rugs of this collection were inspired by the
Pueblo pottery and Navajo textiles from the Museum of Indian Arts and
Culture and the Museum of International Folk Art. The rugs have a
graphic clarity and rhythmic coverage of field that are at ease in
modern settings as well as rustic folkschemes. Shades of cream, taupe,
red and black remain true to the original natural dyes used by tribal
artisans. Olive, sage and dusky blue hues allude to landscapes and
endow the rugs with a feeling of timelessness. Crafted with 100% wool,
the tweeded, richly hued surface is the result of a mixture of yarns
chosen to give service and pleasure for years to come. Woven on a
Wilcom machine using a loop/tip shear construction, then hand-finished,
each rug suggests the surface depth of a hand-crafted artifact.
