On the Design:

A profound deep charcoal and midnight black field serves as a dramatic, sophisticated canvas for a highly stylized, framed composition.

The design immediately establishes its rhythm with a formal border-within-a-border structure, where both frames are richly adorned with small, colorful geometric motifs.

The central field showcases large, abstract stylized floral motifs—including claw-like palmettes and elegant tulip forms—rendered in vivid, yet dusty, colors like soft powder blue, pale olive, dusty rose, and crimson.

A central octagonal medallion connects the inner motifs, pulsing with a rainbow of small forms.

The deliberate symmetry and formal arrangement of the blooms create a sophisticated tension against the free-spirited nature of the color application.

Admirers of the craft will particularly admire how each imaginative motif enjoys a unique play of polychromatic colors against the dark ground, lending the piece an intense, jeweled quality.

The unique execution of this textile—a handwoven wool foundation meticulously finished with intricate embroidery—creates a multi-dimensional texture.

This layered structure allows the sophisticated floral elements to powerfully emerge from the dark base, distinguishing the style as a vibrant work of folk art that is a stunning focal point.

Each piece is so unique and deeply personal in its particular details and whimsical beauties that distinguish the style in our craft—as much a vibrant work of folk art as it is a warm and welcoming choice for the floor and wall-hanging projects alike. See less
