I see that many of the Royal Palace rugs are on clearance and on sale. I was wondering if the Q is discontinuing them? You won't get an answer from Customer Service.....I was wondering if anyone knew? I have purchased many of these rugs and have loved them for years. How sad that the old brands are going by the wayside.

I have no information to help you.  However, I searched under Royal Palace and it sure does look like they are being discontinued.  I have one in our office and we love it.  The  rug is definitely nice quality and I always enjoyed their presentations. 

Thanks for the heads up.  I'm going to take another look and see if I can find one for my entry.

I haven't heard anyone mention Royal Palace rugs in any context.  To me, they seem old fashioned and outdated.  There are some great internet sources for all types of rugs from traditional to very contemporary, mostly offering fast free shipping.  I've gotten all my area rugs from these sources, which have exceeded my expectations.

I believe Royal Palace rugs has a TSV on 9/29.  (I had never realized that rugs could be "dated".)  Love my RP rugs.

I'm very happy for you. 

I'm not sure what you mean by old fashioned and outdated.  I think everyone's home is decorated to their own taste.  I personally do not find myself to be either of those two descriptions, yet I loved the quality and style of Royal Palace.  I feel it is timeless and elegant.  It is so ultra thick and cleans beautifully.

I too have a rug from a company online and there is no comparison as far as the wearability of the two.  Royal Palace far exceeds the other company.  The other company was more expensive, hence that is probably why the shipping was free. 

I can definitely see a difference in the thickness of the fiber and the colorfastness.  I should have gone with another Royal Palace in this instance, but the free shipping of the other company was too tempting.

I always enjoyed the visit by Gary and his son and hope their company is doing well.

There seems to be two threads running with the same starting post. 

Thank you so much for the info about Royal Palace's TSV!  I received my Insider yesterday; however, I have not had a chance to read it.

I truly appreciate your advance notice post.

One person's "old fashioned and dated" is another person's "cozy shabby chic"!

That's what makes a horse race!

I love Royal Palace rugs.  Unfortunately, so does my cat.  He digs his nails into them and scratches away.  I have a pastel one in the kitchen that I just love!  I moved it from the living room because he scratched it up so much.  Now I buy the cheap rugs or wool rugs with no nap because he doesn't like to scratch them.  The cheap ones are not as durable and get dirty faster than Royal Palace's wool rugs.

  Never have owned any Royal Palace  wool rugs, but experienced one very similar that just kept shedding wool fluff for years and years, until I finally got rid of it and invested (very little money) in the high-performance synthetic polypropylene  (Olefin) rugs available from sources such as Costo, Target and online retail sites everywhere. 

These are fantastic in terms of tolerating any type of stains and  abuse, don't shed, are  very attractive ,and I could go on and on. 

I've owned many  large and expensive  custom-sized rugs cut and bound from nice-quality broadloom carpet that are very nice, but I'd  now still opt for lpolypropylene man-made fiber for any area that gets a lot of traffic.  Mine are in the  front-entrance foyer and rec room.

I also agree that  some Royal Palace styles seem  dated for today's homes, even though you can still buy those styles from many sources on the internet if you want them.  Royal Palace is not the only supplier.  Check out Home Decorators'  catalog or website, as one example.

I think, but  am not sure, that stores such as Macy's and Bloomingdale's also sell the synthetic , as well as wool, area rugs in the same "French-influenced" styles that Royal Palace has traditionally offered.

I agree with you. I have Royal Palace rugs from 10+ years ago, that look brand new. They're timeless and elegant - also made very well. I don't feel rugs go out of style. I would not want a "modern" geometric type rug in my home. I'm sticking with traditional.
