The design represents the Mediterranean Sea, as its name suggests in Latin "The sea between lands". It was of critical importance in History for the Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans who sailed its waters. It symbolizes the connection between different shores and the cultural and trade interchanges.
Made with Iberian ornamental spiral elements that simulate sea waves.
El diseño representa al mar Mediterráneo, como su nombre indica en latín "mar en medio de las tierras". Mar clave para la Historia que navegaron fenicios, griegos y romanos.
Simboliza la conexión entre las distintas orillas; los intercambios culturales y comerciales.
Realizada con elementos ornamentales iberos en espiral que simulan las ondas del mar.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
