The artistic vision of one of the south's most popular living artists and designers is woven into each rug, and the results are predictably brilliant! The shape and style of these classic American braided rugs result from the way they were originally constructed. In the late 1800's settlers made ''braided'' rugs from cloth strips torn from old blankets, coats, and pieces of canvas. These multi-colored strips were then fashioned into a braid and wrapped in a simple, ever-widening design. Today, the Bob Timberlake? Bear Creek Braided Wool Rugs are manufactured using a blend of high-quality, durable fabrics (50% wool/45% nylon/5% other) in the same style, providing a wonderful floor covering that will enrich the atmosphere of any lodge or home for generations. And like all of Bob Timberlake's artistic contributions, they convey the spirit of a simpler time. Spot clean. Made in USA.
