Vintage American Braid Round Oval Room Size Carpet

Cotton clothing rags, braided and sewn, create a variety of rugs. Some braided rugs are neat and organized, while others, like the one here, are made from numerous short braided strips in shades of cream, bright yellow, straw, and pale green. These strips swirl together, forming a vibrant whirlpool of color. The shorter and brighter the braided strips, the more movement the rug creates. This particular example is full of motion. Braided rugs often complement rustic American furniture, particularly painted pieces.
