Hey Everyone!!! I have a really weird questions but I have been wanting to ask for a long time. I was watching "Little People Big World" with my hubbie tonight and it reminded me so I'm posting. The Roloffs have a blue red and gold Oriental rug in their living room. What kind of rug is this and how do I find something similar with that large print and simple design? THANKS ALL!!!

My wife watches the Roloffs... I cant quite recall the design off hand...

But if you want search terms for similar designs, go for zeigler, sultanabad, oushak, peshuar and agra. If you're looking for similar designs and colors, I would go with jaipur hand knotted rugs, and zeigler designs. There are also some chobi rugs which have dark blue background similar to their rug although more unusual. It all depends on your price point, but all of these rugs for the most part feature large scale prints with similar sort of leaves and scaling although you will find variances in all the above mentioned rugs.

So far as their exact rug goes, it doesn't appear to be anything special. In fact I it looks like a handtufted carpet, probably fairly inexpensive.

Gracey, I saw this rug browsing ebay, and immediately thought of the Roloff's Rug. Looks like RugPro hit the nail on the head with Zeigler design. Nice work.

Thank you. That's a really good match you found too, although there is no way that rug is veggie dye, and I'm almost 100% sure it's not handspun. Doesnt seem like a horrible price though. Actually seems fairly reasonable for a lower quality jaipur.
