New England craftsmanship will always be a hallmark of the braided-texture area rugs and runners made by cmi. In the shadow of Slater Mill, the birthplace of America's textile industry, Colonial Mills manufactures its products with respect for the past and a zeal for the future. Using innovation and advanced technology, the old-world braiding process for cmi’s braided rugs has remained, fundamentally, unchanged. Their products are still constructed with the best materials, the strictest attention to detail and a steadfast devotion to quality and style. As a testament to their work, in the last 5 years they’ve taken home both the America’s Magnificent Carpet Award and the ADEX award, which stands for Awards for Design Excellence, the largest and most prestigious awards program for product design of furniture, fixtures and finishes marketed to the design trade, several times.
