On the Design

This particular piece features an array of string instruments and a clarinet on the bottom along with bird pictorials in the center against a star-studded background. The piece demonstrates exceptional Aubusson craftsmanship in its precise rendering of clean lines and play of shadows, while the color palette — dominated by olive green, red, and black punctuated by luminous orange stars — creates a bold, eclectic visual look. The marriage of traditional Aubusson weaving techniques with mid-century modern design sensibilities, where every element—from the precise rendering of the instruments to the abstract treatment of nature—contributes to a harmonious celebration of music in nature making it an extremely collectible signature work.
