I like the window pane. :)

Window Pane

The first one. The color seems off in the second compared to your fabrics. But if you are concerned about the materials of the window pane, I'm sure you can find a third choice that will work.

First one.

Thanks. I like the first one better too (especially the price..Lol). Does anyone have experience with art silk/viscose/bamboo silk rugs? My understanding is that they get fuzzy when vacuumed and stiff if they get wet. But so many rugs are being made with these materials now. I don't get it!

There's an article here about bamboo/silk rugs - https://www.rugknots.com/blogs/main/what-hullabaloo-about-bamboo-silk-rugs

And from here - https://www.rugandhome.com/blogs/decorating-guide/17369596-rugs-101-material-benefits

Bamboo

The patriarch of the grass family. Bamboo is one of the fastest
growing plants in the world and shockingly strong. Most natural bamboo
rugs use bamboo from the Anji Mountains of China, the bamboo capital.
They are considered eco-friendly and sustainable because bamboo is a
naturally renewable resource, that grows extraordinarily quickly. You
always want to catch spills as soon as they happen and blot intensely.
Their life expectancy in your home depends on the traffic but 3 to 10
years would be a good estimate.

Viscose

One of the most commonly used faux silks, viscose is a type of Rayon
(also known as “Art Silk”). It is considered semi-synthetic because of
the use of natural cellulose - wood pulp – in its production process.
Interestingly, the newly popular “bamboo silk” is a type of viscose made
from bamboo instead of wood pulp – so bamboo silk is also known as
bamboo viscose.

The silky, cool, breathable fiber is a natural replacement for real
silk because of its affordability and performance. Regularly vacuum
(always raise the beater bar) and blot spills quickly – do not rub – and
you will enjoy the natural beauty of viscose for years to come.Sari Silk

Made from the left-over fabric and thread of saris, Sari Silk is an
absolute gem. A sari is a four-to-nine yard length of cloth,
traditionally made of silk, that women in India wrap around themselves
as their garment. By re-spinning the pieces of brightly colored
material, the final product is outstanding in its own right. It comes
mainly from India & Nepal and holds its color and vibrancy. The
variegated yarns hide traffic patterns and they are easy to maintain.
Soft but sturdy with a high sheen with rich, bright colors. Like silk
rugs, if made of pure sari silk, they are not meant to go in high
traffic areas. However, when fortified with wool, they will wear very
well.

• Wool & Silk

  A truly spectacular combination, Wool & Silk fell in love at
  first sight. They are happiest when they are together. Both are natural
  fibers, wool coming from the sheep’s coat and silk being produced by
  silkworms.

  Silk is considered a luxurious fiber because of its high sheen and
  soft “silky” feel. Though it is considered fine and delicate, do not be
  misled, silk is extraordinarily durable. When wool & silk are used
  to make a rug, the rug has more dimension and usually provokes a more
  eye catching appearance. Many times the field, or base, of the rug will
  be wool, and the design will be in silk, which makes it pop. These two
  fibers make a winning combination both aesthetically and functionally.

  Due to the outstanding look created by wool & silk rugs, rug
  manufacturers have started using faux silk (i.e. viscose; art silk;
  bamboo silk) instead of real silk to bring costs down. These rugs have
  some of the same great looks but their durability will not be as high as
  a real wool & silk. Wool & Silk rugs are easy to maintain.
  Regular vacuuming and quickly blotting up spills with a damp towel are
  keys to a long life. See rug care instructions for more details.
