Friday Featured Art: Gabbeh Rugs

The "art" for today is something that I discovered when we stayed at the Hotel Frederick in Boonville, Missouri, last month.  There are lovely rugs all over the hotel.  I learned that they are Persian, and this type of rug is called a gabbeh carpet.  The designs are simple and quite modern looking, and the rugs are soft.

Hotel Frederick

A couple of weeks ago we spent some time in mid-Missouri. We stayed at the Hotel Frederick in Boonville. It's a lovely early 1900s hotel that's been renovated. They did a great job. I really loved these light fixtures in the lobby. They came from a hotel in Kansas City.
