Biltmore's licensing division, specializing in products inspired by the historic Biltmore House and gardens, announced that it will be debuting a new rug collection with licensee partner Capel Rugs at the Atlanta International Area Rug Market in July.
"We're excited to introduce another great collection inspired by George Vanderbilt's timeless design style," said Vice President and General Manager of Biltmore's licensing division Tim Rosebrock. "Given the current upcycling trend, this particular collection, based on an orginal antique rug found at Biltmore House, will really appeal to consumers."
The partnership between Capel Rugs and Biltmore began with the reproduction of antique textiles that were a part of Mr. Vanderbilt's stunning collection. More recently, the area rugs from this line have evolved to include contemporary designs inspired by the architecture and other details found in Biltmore House and gardens.
The Capel Rugs Atlanta showroom is located in Building 1, Space 6F2.
Biltmore Select - Bidjar
This collection is based on an original antique rug selected by George Vanderbilt for the Louis XV suite in Biltmore House.

The Biltmore Select - Bidjar design is available in the colorway regal blue. A 6' x 9' rug may retail for $2,659.
