A contemporary carpet, finely hand-knotted in soft, high-grade wool and silk. Its design, incorporating simplified patterns from early Arts & Crafts carpets, employs a repeated floral motif stamped across its open field, and a beautiful ton-sur-ton effect, in muted shades of taupe and elephant grey. The uniformity of colour between the ground and the border creates a real sense of space and balance, well suited to either a classic or modern setting. The silk highlights lend a feeling of depth and charm to its otherwise understated design.

This is a very fine piece, and of an impressive and unusually large size, with a restrained elegance to complement a tasteful interior.
