DALTON, GA —

Area rug manufacturer and importer Shaw Rugs recently added another license to its growing roster — golf legend Jack Nicklaus.

Shaw will produce two separate collections as part of the licensing pact. For the regular domestics line, Shaw will produce woven wool rugs in 14 to 16 patterns set to retail for $699 for a 6' x 9' and a more promotional line of sports memorabilia rugs made of woven polypropylene in five patterns set to retail for $99 to $199 for a 30'' x 50''.

The collection will launch later this month at the Atlanta Rug Show.

Shaw is also the area rug licensee for Martha Stewart, Kathy Ireland and Tommy Bahama, as well as others.
