Traditional rugs carry the formal patterning that gives a room depth and a sense of having been there a while. Seldens carries Traditional Rugs, drawn mainly from Mafi and Stickley, in wool and blended constructions made to order in the size you need.

Pattern and Formality in Traditional Rugs

Expect medallions, borders and dense allover motifs, typically in champagne, charcoal, silver, grey and blue. Traditional is the most useful category to shop by when you already know the furniture and need the floor to agree with it rather than compete. Cross reference by colour through grey, beige, blue and ivory rugs.

Scaling a Traditional Rug to a Dining or Living Room

Rug size does more for a room than pattern does. Under a seating group, aim for the front legs of every piece to land on the rug, which usually means eight by ten or larger. In a dining room, allow two feet past the table edge on all sides. In a bedroom, run the rug wide enough that you step onto it getting out of bed.
