A pale field carrying a dense all-over design of palmettes, flowering vases and leafy vines drawn in cream, gold, grey-lilac and rust, with no medallion and no centre — the repeat runs edge to edge and disappears under the border. A wide border of the same drawing at larger scale, with palmettes and a meandering vine, frames the field, backed by narrow guard bands and a soft green outer edge. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. The field reads as a soft sage green against the gold border, but measured against the wool itself the two grounds are almost the same colour. At 202×239cm this is a large room rug, suited to a living room or under a dining table. A mid-toned ground of this kind is reasonably forgiving, though the cream in the drawing will show wear first.
