Typographic Rugs Are Real Treasures

The silk and wool rugs are woven by hand by Tibetan and Nepalese artisans. You can customize the size and materials to work with your space. I have a feeling the prices are high, but I can’t tell you exactly — the Linus Dean website just says to email for a quote.
