“Stunning rug”

This is a new favorite in our house. We got new flooring this summer and needed some rugs to break up the wood. This rug has a proud and admired place in our home and we love looking at it every day. It is a masterpiece of workmanship. We bought several by Mr. Ruiz and are delighted with all of them. Wish we could meet him some day and thank him in person.

“Zapotec Wool Rug”

Very pleased with the craftsmanship and vivid colors of this rug. The heavy weight weaving was exactly what I was looking for. I would rate the quality of this rug among the best I have purchased over the years while in Mexico. Thank you Alfredo.
