The central pattern or medallion of this rug is an ancient classic. Weaving-in distressed areas and the erasing of pattern sections in this design allows you to incorporate a piece of history in your home. While the addition of vibrant colour accents make the rugs both contemporary and stylish. Over a century of skill and craftsmanship is woven into every rug we produce. Woven on jacquard Wilton looms in a combination of pure new wool and cotton chenille, each beautiful rug has multiple layers of texture, distressed areas and intricate stitching detail to give a true vintage look. Woven in a fashionable flat weave construction, all our rugs are hand finished with reinforced corners and an anti-slip layer for a secure fit. The central medallion of the Fading World rug collection by Louis De Poortere is an ancient classic pattern woven intricately at the legendary weaving mill of Louis De Poortere founded in Belgium in 1929.
