This week we put my favorite large rug back on the floor, in front of the stage! It's a soft red tribal pile rug from Turkmenistan, with the geometric black-line subtle pattern and soft wool, nice for sitting or dancing on. Turkmenistan is, by the way, that arid zone between Iran and Uzbekistan (homeland of the suzani tapestry) east of the Caspian sea, and just north of Mashhad, Iran's holy city, which geographically looks kind of like Tucson. 
Our store carries several smaller Turkoman tribal rugs also, though this big red one is a customer favorite. Come by and check it out in person! Or, you can get a glimpse of it here. It's 10' x 14' and retails for $10,000 - a desert palace furnishing like no other.
