Striped Area Rugs

Andy Warhol Pop multicolor stripe rug from Oriental Weavers - via AtticmagHow to find the popular striped area rugs you see in these room décor photos.

A recent post on hallway area rugs prompted a response from a reader who inquired where to locate the contemporary rug featured in the first photo of the article. It was a terrific question because it got me thinking how many times I have viewed designer and magazine photos that left me wondering where an item could be purchased.  And although designers often utilize “to the trade” sources, with my background in rugs, I can usually locate the manufacturer or a similar style carpet. So here’s a shout out to Corrie for asking a great question and a few examples that should get you started on your search.

Starting with the least expensive is the Andy Warhol Pop rug from Sphinx by Oriental Weavers.  Made of polypropylene (recycled plastic), it is machine made in Egypt.  Warhol fans will delight in the entire line based upon his iconic art.  Hand-woven rugs are also available.

    I have one of these rugs. Can you give a estimate of the value.

      Hi Rick,

      I don’t estimate values as I’m not an appraiser. Best is to look for comparable new rugs in material and size. However, used rugs don’t bring much unless they are pedigreed, rare or in the Persian market.

      Thanks for stopping by. Jane
