Thorndike Mills, a family owned and operated business, is one of the oldest manufacturers of braided rugs in the United States. Established in 1925, Thorndike Mills carved a niche for itself, within a niche market, by being the only company to commercially manufacture authentically styled cloth braided rugs. Today, not only are they still known for what they do best, but also offer a wide selection of more commodity styled braided rugs to meet all budgets.
