Langhorne Carpet Making Rugs for Pope Francis' Visit to Philadelphia

Philadelphia, PA, September 16, 2015—Langhorne Carpet Company of Penndel, Pennsylvania was commissioned to produce three handmade rugs in preparation for Pope Francis’ visit to Philadelphia, according to Philadelphia’s ABC 6.

In addition to making a runner for the airport, the company created two rugs to be used in the rectory of Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul.

The 9’x75’ runner is red with a gold border. The rugs for the rectory are green with a medallion design.

All three pieces are 100% wool to align with the Pope’s commitment to environmental conservation.
