Product Info

Step back into the eccentric charm of the 19th century with this bold and conversation-starting vintage postcard-style area rug, inspired by the real-life story of a 75-ton embalmed whale that once toured the East Coast in 1888.

Designed to look like an antique travel advertisement, this oversized rug invites visitors to “Go See the Whale at Tolchester,” a nod to the Maryland beach resort that once hosted this strange but true spectacle.

Whether you're a Maryland history buff, a lover of weird but fascinating facts, or a fan of
vintage postcard art and 19th-century advertising, this rug brings a big splash of character to any space. Perfect for whale lovers, beachcombers-at-heart, and anyone who enjoys the intersection of the whimsical and historical.
