The Prairie Collection by Marcia Weese

From Abe Abbas, About.com

The Prairie Collection is a series of ten hand knotted rugs designed by Marcia Weese of Weese+Design. Marcia Weese, who is also an interior designer and artist, has named each of these patterns after an element of the landscape.

These designs are inspired by the prairies of the Midwestern region. All the natural forms have been translated into a series of elegant linear designs which provide a perfect complement to traditional and contemporary interiors.

Each rug is hand-dyed and hand-knotted on traditional wooden looms in Nepal by Tibetan weavers using wool with silk accents at 100 knots per square inch. Slight variations in texture and color create a rich patina and depth. High lanolin content and long fibers in the wool makes these rugs extremely durable and stain resistant.

Take a closer look at these sumptuous rugs.
