Description
A dramatic black and ivory traditional rug with an architectural panel layout, central sunburst medallion, and intricate floral scrollwork — pure classical elegance.
A rectangular area rug with a deep black background and an elaborate traditional panel layout inspired by European palace ceiling design. The central field features a large circular sunburst medallion in ivory and warm gold tones, surrounded by a symmetrical grid of rectangular and square decorative panels filled with acanthus leaf scrollwork, floral motifs, and classical urn/lyre ornaments — all rendered in ivory, beige, and warm brown against the black ground. Burgundy and rust-brown accents appear in the smaller corner medallions and panel borders. The outer border repeats the floral and leaf vocabulary with a structured multi-line frame. The pile is medium height with a smooth, machine-woven surface texture. Edges are cleanly bound with no fringe or tassels. The overall impression is of a formal, architectural floor covering with museum-quality ornamental detail.

About This Product
The Nourison Versailles Palace area rug is a stunning tribute to classical European and Oriental design, featuring an intricate panel layout with a central sunburst medallion surrounded by ornate floral scrollwork, acanthus leaf motifs, and decorative tile-like compartments. The rich black background makes the ivory and warm beige detailing pop dramatically, while burgundy and brown accents add depth and warmth to the overall palette. The structured border frames the entire composition with the same level of detail found in the interior panels, giving this rug a truly architectural quality.
With a medium 0.5-inch pile and cotton backing, it offers a comfortable underfoot feel while maintaining the refined look of a formal area rug. This piece works beautifully as a statement rug in a formal living room, dining room, or study — anywhere you want to anchor the space with something that feels genuinely classic and considered. The Versailles Palace is the kind of rug that draws compliments and becomes the centerpiece of a room's design story.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your wool or cotton rugs in top shape, follow these steps:
- Begin by blotting any stains with a dry cotton or white paper towel.
- Use a blunt instrument to carefully remove food or debris.
- Combine a minimal quantity of dish soap with a cup of cold water. Use this solution and a clean sponge to gently clean the stain. Avoid over-saturating the rug. Blot the cleaned area dry with a towel.
- Keep away from excessive heat or agitation as wool and cotton rugs are susceptible to bleeding and staining.
- For the best results, we advise a yearly professional cleaning.
