An ivory field scattered with small naturalistic floral sprays, and at its centre a large radiating medallion built from concentric rings of tiny motifs in coral, sky blue, rose, sage and gold, ringed by a scalloped border of pendant forms. Heavy tan spandrels fill the corners, and a wide coral-salmon main border of flowering vine frames the whole, closed by sage and ivory guard stripes. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool at a fine gauge. The palette is the thing to notice: this rug uses well over a dozen distinct colours, where a Nain of similar fineness would hold to five or six. That breadth is what allows the medallion to be shaded ring by ring rather than drawn flat, and it is why the centre reads as though lit from within. The drawing is fully curvilinear — stems curve smoothly rather than stepping — which requires both a high knot count and a squared cartoon. At 196×316cm this is a large room rug, suited to a full seating group or a dining table with chairs pulled out.
