On the Design

A notable presence of yellow, green and red tones underscores a bold, graphic sense of drama and geometry in the boho chic design. This piece enjoys a lush pile with primitivist diamond patterns. 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.

Condition

This vintage rug is highly distressed and would require repair and restoration. See less
