Remember the oval braided rugs ubiquitous to country homes? This New England company still makes them by hand, weaving in almost any color your floor desires.

Made with new wool, the rugs are durable, stain-resistant and come in 250 colors. Custom designs (including plaids, checks and tweeds) and custom sizes are also options.

Shown here is an oval braided rug with green, cranberry and camel colors.

Oval Braided Rug, #7997, is $1,670 for a 7' x 9' size (July 2006).
