May want to also post this over in the "rugs and textiles" forum as well.
These are machine made rugs with a wool pile. Similar to Karastan rugs.
The price of these rugs can be almost ad much as a hand made piece so it may be worth looking into some of those as well. Margin is higher on hand knotted rugs which means you can usually get a better deal.
This rug in an 8x10 would retail around $1000-$1300

I see that brand a lot here. Never thought it was that much.

This brand will have many different collections varying on price. However a quick Google search showed this rug in an 8x10 at nearly 4k. Your best bet is to check out local prices at a reputable dealer.
Floor coverings aren't cheap, even when they are cheaply made (not implying Surya is).

The homes I see it in are very expensive. The rug just doesn't look that well made. I'm definitely not a rug expert.

Thanks Jordan, We are buying them through the decorator at wholesale price, plus a percentage. They say they are hand made, what will be the best way to clean when the time comes. We do not have any decent rug cleaning facilities in the area, may have to send them out to be cleaned.

Ron,
These are extremely trendy right now. They aren't really meant to last a long time, but will last long enough to look dated in three to four years.
If you don't care about trendy and honestly like the look, you'll have to take good care of them if you want them around a while.
PS: If you can clean wool wall-to-wall, you can hack these in your garage with no problems.

Thanks Bryan, That is the type of answer I had hoped for. We are purchasing a larger one to match this one and another style for the dining room. I have wanted to do a rug class but my wife has been having health issues that have prevented us from traveling. This decorating has been a good distraction for her.
