Langhorne Carpet Company proudly announces its latest collaboration with Vermont Custom Rug Company’s David Hunt on an elegant reproduction of the early 19th century worsted wool carpet for the dining room of historic Hyde Hall.
A National Historic Landmark and New York State Historic Site in Springfield, NY, eight miles north of Cooperstown, Hyde Hall is considered “one of the finest examples of the neoclassical country houses in the United States.” The agricultural estate was the project and prize of wealthy British-born landowner George Clarke (1768-1835). Clarke owned 120,000 acres in New York’s Leatherstocking Region and designed Hyde Hall on the bank of Otsego Lake with Albany architect Philip Hooker. The mansion, the estate’s centerpiece, was constructed from 1817 to 1835. Today, Hyde Hall resides within Glimmerglass State Park.
Recent years have brought Hyde Hall a meticulous, history-driven, artisan-fueled restoration to recreate Clarke’s precise original vision.
David Hunt chose Langhorne Carpet Company to recreate the Brussels looped pile carpet for the property’s dining room. Made from the finest worsted wool, a yarn used today almost exclusively in apparel, Brussels carpets were a 19th-century status symbol among America’s wealthiest citizens, including presidents and major landowners. According to Clarke’s scrupulously kept ledgers, in 1831 he purchased “122 linear yards of Brussels body carpet, along with 24 yards of Brussels border carpet from the showroom of Lowe & Connah in New York City for the sum of $308.00. A hefty amount for the period,” said Hunt.
The carpet—which, Hunt said, may well be one of the first examples Wilton carpet woven in the United States—remained in the dining room through the end of the 19th century. As for the two tuffets? They not only survive—they also remain covered in the original textile.
This existence of these original tuffets for nearly two centuries, said Hunt, is both incredibly rare and fortuitous. “Having a documented portion of the original carpet, intact 186 years after manufacture, is, for the textile historian, a gold mine of information. Although the border portion of the design remains most visible, having the ability to document and verify the yarn quality, sett (pattern) of the weave and most importantly the original colors is huge.”
Hunt “dissected” the tuffets to reveal the yarn that, like in all Wilton weaves, is buried beneath the textile’s back, unexposed to sunlight, air, or cleaning agents. When he did, he found the carpet’s original colors and pattern. From there, he and Langhorne used a black-and-white photograph of the original carpet to create a botanical pattern for the field that would, he said, “honor the style of the border.”
He then turned over the work to Langhorne, to create the patterns, match the dye colors, and weave the carpets on narrow looms much like the ones used 200 years ago. Langhorne, he added, is the only mill in the United States—and one of very few in the entire world—capable of doing such a job.
“Langhorne has this wonderful capability to do all sorts of different things. I don’t think a lot of people understand that option is out there, and it’s a lot easier than you think to do it,” he said. What’s more, “They’re real people, working people—the folks on the loom, the weavers, the folks in the office: Except for the clothing, they’re the same type of people you would have found in a mill 200 years ago. It takes special people to do this, and that’s Langhorne.”

This modern custom home is a beautiful blend of thoughtful design and comfortable living. No detail was left untouched during the design and build process. Taking inspiration from the Pacific Northwest, this home in the Washington D.C suburbs features a black exterior with warm natural woods. The home combines natural elements with modern architecture and features clean lines, open floor plans with a focus on functional living.

A passion for the Southwest inspires one couple to turn their garden into a vibrant showcase for Sonoran Desert flora.
By Nancy Erdmann | Photography by Steve Thompson
For someone who loves to garden and has done so in many areas of the U.S., taking on the challenge of a rocky, boulder-strewn hillside lot in the Sonoran Desert is something that Carey Bertsch relishes. “I was born in Scotland but grew up in Atlanta, Georgia. My husband, Robin, is from Indiana. We have always loved everything about the Southwest. The sunny, arid climate; the lifestyle; the flora; the fauna—they all resonate with us,” she remarks.
As such, the couple, who are based in Colorado, decided to purchase a part-time residence in Arizona. They found a Santa Fe Territorial-style home that’s tucked into the base of a steep slope in North Scottsdale’s Estancia community. Populated with natural boulder outcroppings, the property’s landscape was rudimentary at best. “But we saw the potential and knew it could be so much more,” recalls Carey. She and her husband lived in the house for several years before making any major changes; they recently completed a total exterior remodel.

An unparalleled blending of the tranquil and the thrilling, stunning beauty both natural and custom crafted. Breathtaking views exquisitely complimented by this fabulous pool and spa. The touch of a button can transform the serene into the remarkable. Fire, colored lights, magnificent illuminated fountains make this backyard resort spring to life.
The original pallet possessed incredible vistas, a lovely bay, amazing sunsets but also offered significant challenges. Dewatering, elevation issues, environmental requirements and limited access contributed to the difficulty of the project. The wish list of the client was extremely extensive but not impractical. A full depth pool with an in floor cleaning system, an automatic cover, laminar jets and very precise spa conditions. Ornate and vast hardscape was needed for extensive entertaining both day and night. The mingling of fire, water, light and color were a priority. Achieving all these desires while maintaining both impeccable quality and taste would be a challenge.
The pool design features a long lap lane, color changing LED lights, 4 laminar jets, and an automatic cover. The large entry steps and the full length bench are capped with custom finished New York State bluestone. The in-floor cleaning system, skimmers, main drains and all return fittings are perfectly matched in color to the plaster finish. A star light system in the pool floor lends great ambiance for all types of entertaining. The custom spa features a Kings chair with 4 back jets and special calf and foot jets, the Queens chair has 4 back jets. The entire interior of the spa is finished in a harmonious blend of bluestone and iridescent 1” x 1” glass tile.
A see through custom stone gas burning fireplace, adorns the deep end of the pool. The focal point of the hardscape, it features a 48” wide fire box, fountains, and a nautically themed centerpiece. The beautiful and grand patios compliment the pool. Custom stone coping matches perfectly with the mix of brick and stone that create the pool surround. Intricate steps, stone veneer and a custom drain system finish off this virtual masterpiece.
