On the Design:
This piece represents a sophisticated departure from traditional symmetry, leaning into the evocative, "painterly" style that defined the most sought-after rugs of the 1920s. The field is saturated in a deep, lush forest green—a colorway that provides an opulent, velvet-like backdrop for the whimsical landscape unfolding across the canvas.

Rather than a centered medallion, the design features a lyrical cherry blossom tree that sweeps across the field with a naturalistic fluidity, its branches laden with blossoms in soft pink, amber, and ice blue. To the side, a slender, vertical waterfall motif introduces a sense of serene, cooling movement, balanced by a graceful butterfly in flight.

This cinematic approach to composition allows the rug to function as a piece of woven art, capturing the dreamlike elegance of the Jazz Age. Every element, from the stepped "skyscraper" border in dusty rose to the rich bronze outer frame, honors the experimental spirit of the period while ensuring a clean, contemporary finish for modern luxury interiors.
