Edward Fields Rugs: A Little History


Over at Dr. Sobhe's RugMaster Blog, he has an interesting article up on some of the history behind Edward Fields Rugs which you might find fun to read. Here's a snippet:


The creation of Edward Field’s rugs began in 1935. Edward fields created a carpet that was like none other; he also single handedly created and coined the term “area rug”. These rugs are known for their high quality and the fact that they are like hand tufted. Edward Fields created a tufting gun that was used for his floor coverings. This gun allowed for varying thicknesses and different designs throughout the Edward Fields carpet.

These are really artistic rugs that scream bespoke, I have 2 questions:
1. Are they expensive?
2. Are the easy to maintain or do they require professional maintenance?
