Dominion Rug

Did you know quality carpets hold their value? Like a good writing desk, investing in a floor covering with a pedigree is never a waste. Catering to designers, this 64-year-old showroom carries more than 15,000 samples from around the world, including sisals, shags, animal prints and Wilton and Axminster weaves. Choose from contemporary designs in wool and viscose (from $3,695) by such brands as Martha Stewart and Barbara Barry, or explore traditional needlepoint and antique-washed options. The ever-popular Tufenkian silk and wool rugs from Tibet range from $6,795 to $9,600 for 8' x 10'.
