The richly authentic designs of this collection are inspired by years of research into historic and museum-quality carpets throughout the world. To recreate the elegant antique look of these original masterpieces, Nourison developed and patented a unique ''worn look'' weave construction specifically for the Nourmak' Collection. Utilizing only the highest quality wool, this special process also ensures a durability that makes every Nourmak carpet a superior investment in both beauty and value.
