A cream field packed corner to corner with flowering vine — palmettes, rosettes, curled leaves and small blossoms in rust, coral, teal, moss and cream — so dense that the ground survives only as pale threads between stems. Within it sits a large lobed diamond reserve, and at the very centre of that a small dark cartouche holding a single rosette: the only quiet point in the whole rug. Four heavy rust spandrels fill the corners, and a wide rust main border of palmettes and flowering vine frames the whole, with fine sawtooth guard stripes and cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in silk at 36/36 quality — 36 knots to the inch in each direction, close to 1,300 to the square inch and roughly two million knots in this rug. The pile carries a directional sheen, so from one end the cream field warms and the rust comes forward, and from the other the ground cools while the teal foliage lifts instead. At 78×125cm this suits a bedside, an entry or a spot beside a chair. It is a busy rug and will read as pattern rather than as colour from across a room — worth knowing if you are placing it against patterned wallpaper or a strong floor.
