Ms. Hall ran a classic "parlor house," with Brussels carpets and red plush furniture.

The latter was a comfortable room, the panelling tastefully done in oak and mahogany, with a rich Brussels carpet and luxurious settees.

In front of the altar a platform three feet high covered with Brussels carpet had been erected.

A Brussels carpet stretched the length of the hall's cypress flooring.

She hesitated a moment longer, then walked across the Brussels carpet, past the base of the staircase, to the double set of doors opening onto the gentlemen's study.

Shad glumly stared at them, the while he rubbed the faded Brussels carpet with his spurs.

David crossed the flowered Brussels carpet, uncomfortably aware of the terminal state of his huge cracked leather shoes.

A green Brussels carpet covered the floor, while the rows of brass spittoons shone like gold.

There was a good Brussels carpet on the floor, rich in dull red and lemon shades, and representing large jardinieres filled with gorgeous, impossible flowers.
