On the Design:

A clean, natural ivory field serves as a bright canvas for a borderless and utterly charming array of pictorial motifs.

The entire composition is a delightful folk scene, densely populated by a whimsical menagerie of animals and insects—including ladybugs, deer, a blue cat, a rooster, and various beetles.

Each creature is rendered in simple, bold shapes and enjoys a unique play of polychromatic colors, lending the piece a spontaneous, imaginative energy. The simple blue border provides a clean, clear frame for the lively scene within.

Admirers of the craft will particularly admire how each imaginative creature enjoys a unique play of vibrant colors, and the sense of whimsical, flowing life it lends this piece.

The unique execution of this textile—a handwoven wool foundation meticulously finished with intricate embroidery—creates a multi-dimensional texture that allows the figures to pop against the clean base.

Each piece is so unique and deeply personal in its particular details and 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. See less
