Voysey, with a partial signature in its upper corner.

On the Design:

A gorgeous play of green, blue, pink and cream and other light, refreshing colors creates a graceful softness, and exemplifies the neoclassical inspiration with tasteful elegance. Keen eyes will adore its many soft colors and the grace that play of medallion and floral patterns evoke. Its design further embodies the grandiose sensibility of the titular European style with its elaborate medallion and fan roundels, enclosed within an elaborate floral border. This marriage of color and comfortable, sophisticated style in versatile size exemplifies Josh’s favorite Savonnerie carpets of this period for their unusual nature, and equally so Arts & Crafts carpets of the Voysey and Morris halcyon days as a fabulous marriage of the Neoclassical and soon-to-be-Art Deco design principles. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture.
