On the Design

A cream and beige tone flatweave underscores hand-knotted wool pile in bright orange and purple geometric patterns—a layering that creates both a fabulous look of framing and a natural high-and-low texture. Admirers of the craft will note that the smaller surface piece was most likely a tribal rug, and the presentation of its warm, vibrant colors atop such a soft background enjoys such a fabulous sense of dimensionality and presence. It’s an exemplary choice from this line, each a distinct shabby-chic collectible and a work of art alike—equally suitable to wall-hanging projects as a tapestry as it is to the floor.
