This four-color 6' 5" X 11" Art Deco carpet was originally in the Arizona Biltmore Hotel built in 1929. One of the only existing luxury hotels in the world with a Frank Lloyd Wright-influenced design, The Arizona Biltmore has been an Arizona landmark since its opening when it was crowned "The Jewel of the Desert."

Construction still takes place after Wright’s death. This same pattern and several others were used in the Imperial hotel. The pattern was recreated in the 70s for the Arizona Biltmore hotel designed by architect Albert Chase McArthur brother of Warren and son of Warren McArthur Sr. Frank Lloyd Wright built the Mcarthur house in 1892, 4852 South Kenwood Avenue in Chicago, Illinois.
