There are two antique methods of weaving multi-colored, patterned carpets which evolved in the weaving centers of England and spread throughout Europe and eventually to the US. The slowest and most painstaking is the Wilton loom which creates the beautiful needle points that are so popular today. Actually the loom is very flexible and will produce solid-color velvets and multi-level loop piles as well, but by far the most desirable are the loop-pile floral and geometric fields and borders that we use either to make custom-sized area rugs or as full wall-to-wall installations. We have the largest collection of Wilton Fields and Borders that we know.

 
Without question it's the patterned wool carpet most familiar to most people because they have seen so much Axminster installed in hotels, fine restaurants and casinos around the world.

Ralph Lauren entered the carpet business with a terrific new line which debuted in October, 2000. The looks and colors are taken directly from other items in the Ralph Lauren Home Collection, so it coordinates completely with his fabric and wallpaper lines, which we also feature in our Design Studio. The quality is the same that Ralph Lauren is famous for in everything that bears his name. The prices are very competitive with other high-quality lines we feature.

In rent-controlled apartments in the City, tenants are not allowed to remove the old asphalt tile and install wood, so clever Designers have used Sisal matting on top to provide a natural "ground" similar to wood.

But, Sisal wall-to-wall is very scratchy and is easily stained, so a new carpet style evolved: SisalWool - flat weaves made from wool - just as interesting but soft and easy to clean. They have become our most popular carpets.

We have an entire department devoted to these terrific natural looks. We offer Sisal, Seagrass, Coir, Dragongrass, Cashmere, Wool, Alpaca, Nylon and Polypropylene.

Area Rugs made from a Sisal carpet bordered with Tapestry, Leather or Canvas are natural and very decorative at the same time. We have hundreds for you to choose from.

The interest in graphics, which began with Sasswood, has grown into a very important new category - patterns of all types created with a combination of cut and uncut pile or higher and lower pile of the same type. We have everything from simple trellises to very ornate florals and grillworks in a full range of today's new fashion colors.

In addition to our Specialty Departments we have a department for Twists, Textures and Friezes and a department for Velvets, Plushes and Saxony's. These departments feature styles from Karastan, Waverly, Fabrica, Masland and all of America's finest mills. And when your needs can't be met with domestic product, we turn to The International Design Guild for the finest carpets available throughout the world.
