Ballet at the Paris Opéra — Degas Area Rug

Edgar Degas held a subscription to the Paris Opéra and used his access to sketch dancers rehearsing, waiting in the wings, and performing on stage, treating the theater as an ongoing study of movement, artificial light, and the working lives of young performers. "Ballet at the Paris Opéra" reflects this sustained fascination, part of the hundreds of ballet-themed works Degas produced across his career in pastel, oil, and sculpture. Rather than romanticizing the stage, Degas often emphasized the physical labor and discipline behind ballet's apparent effortlessness.
Printed edge to edge on a soft, durable woven area rug with a comfortable, non-slip feel.

Everything about this went better than I hoped. The brushwork in Ballet at the Paris Opéra shows exactly why Degas has the reputation. It came through a summer of wildfire smoke and open windows with no smell at all. I am thrilled with the whole experience.
This is a solid buy at a slightly high price. The detail in Ballet at the Paris Opéra holds up from a couple of feet away. It looks more expensive than what I paid for it.
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. I could not be happier with it.
It landed on my porch in perfect condition two days early. It brings out parts of Ballet at the Paris Opéra I have never seen reproduced this well. The packing was almost comical in how careful it was. The fringe on this rug is neat and has stayed that way through two washes.
The soft gray matches what I saw on my monitor closely enough. The energy in Ballet at the Paris Opéra is what drew me to Degas in the first place. It has already paid for itself in compliments.
