The appeal of the braided rug, an American decorating tradition for more than 200 years, is still strong today with home decorators. The warmth and texture adds visual interest and cushioned comfort to your floors. The Hearth area rug, from our popular American Heritage Braided Rug Collection, is made of a cotton blend that features the popular Thimbleberries™ fabric by Lynette Jensen. The combination of natural and synthetic rug fibers provides superior performance and a hypoallergenic alternative to wool rugs without sacrificing the beauty. This beautiful rug features colorful round braids and uses a special C-Lock® joining system that incorporates over two stitches per inch, extra strong stitching thread and a tighter weave. The result is a durable braided rug with resilience and strength that will stand up to years of use. This rug is also reversible for twice the life. And with so many versatile colors to choose from, you are sure to find one that matches your decor.
