A cream field carrying a lobed rose-pink medallion with pendants at either end, surrounded by fine scrolling vine, palmettes and small blossoms in rose, sky blue, lilac, gold and wine. The rose-pink main border is the feature: worked into it at intervals are vases with flowers rising from them, alternating with large scrolling leaves. Narrow guard bands close the design and there is an inscribed cartouche in the outer band at one end.
Hand-knotted in wool at a fine gauge, fully curvilinear throughout. The palette is soft and warm — cream and rose carrying the structure, with the brighter colours confined to the small motifs — so the rug reads quiet at a distance and detailed close up. At 151×202cm this is a compact rug, suited to a study, a bedroom, beside a bed or in front of a fireplace, where a room-sized piece would be too much.
