Movie Rugs - Rugs have made many a cameo appearance in many a Hollywood movie. In Wall StreetDarryl Hana remarks that Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) only buys the best of the best and marvels at the magnificence of his rug. 

In the Big Lebowski, The Dude’s (Jeff Bridges) heart is broken when some local muscle mistakes him for a millionaire, breaks into his shoddy L.A. home, and soils his rug. Claiming that “the rug really tied the room together,” The Dude seeks out his millionaire doppelganger for recompense. The rug is the genesis of chaos in this epic Coen Brothers film.

In the Blind side, Leigh Anne Tuohy (Sandra Bullock), an interior designer with impeccable taste and balls of steel, lays down the law when negotiating the price of an antique Oushak rug for one of her clients.

In Downton Abbey the discerning set designers chose a marvelous Aubusson carpet that captures the essence of early 20th century aristocratic decorative tastes in England.

In Harry Potter the Gryffindor common room features an antique Sultanabad rug that, alongside walls of antique tapestries, gives the room the scholarly feel of a luxurious study or library (which reminds me of a certain New York City library featuring a similar piece from the Nazmiyal Collection…)
