On the Design:

A clean, natural ivory field underscores a borderless and playful array of pictorials and charming transportation motifs—in particular, several depictions of cars, planes, boats, and scooters—where keen eyes will particularly admire how each imaginative motif enjoys a unique play of polychromatic colors, and the sense of movement, whimsy, and life it lends this piece.

Admirers of the craft will further appreciate the unique revival of this technique in an all-wool construction and intricate new texture—a more durable way to recreate these old-world textile designs for use on the floor while still capturing their fabulous, elegant look in the most honorable fashion.

Each piece is so unique and deeply personal in its particular details and whimsical beauties that distinguish the style in our craft—as much vibrant works of folk art as they are warm and welcoming choices for the floor and wall-hanging projects alike in their craft and sensibility.

Tribal pictorial tapestries such as those that inspired this are rich, collectible glimpses into the themes of life, and the many motifs of transport and imaginative play speak of this rug’s universal charm—a truly special piece evoking the beauty of old-world craft and a whimsical air alike.
