Looking for something sumptuous to drap across your floor?  The Scroll Silk and Wool Rug from Williams Sonoma is a wonderful choice.  The pattern is classic, but not to ornate; to translate- it will work in modern and traditional settings very well!  It is hand knotted in Tibet from fine wool and given a raised pattern of interwoven silk.  The chocolate color is divine, and other fabulous colors are available too like “New Rust” or “Pearl”.
