The Pendleton® Reserve Collection represents Pendleton's historic blanket designs rendered as finely crafted handmade rugs. The rugs are hand-knotted with approximately 80 knots to the square inch using high-quality New Zealand wool. We use handspun wool which creates a delightful variegated color, giving the completed rug a richness and subtle blend of colors.
In 1923, President Harding and his wife came west to dedicate a portion of the old Oregon Trail. At the ceremony, local chiefs presented the first lady with a Pendleton shawl inspired by the famous Chief Joseph Blanket. One of the most popular Pendleton designs, this version is offered with oatmeal background, motifs in taupe, and accents in shades of terra cotta, soft gold and sage green.
