Offering a fresh, minimalist take on historic hand-stamped textiles, the piece in natural silk features a soothing botanical pattern in a radiant palette of golden and cream.

On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may appreciate this contemporary rug among the works of a special workshop among 21st-century reimaginings of the block print design sensibility, as well as a uniquely rhythmic, artisanal piece found in this contemporary weaving tradition. Keen eyes for detail will particularly note this rug’s masterful execution of texture and movement among its countless beauties—all exemplary of the hand-stamped textile style.

The colorway is one of the most delicious elements here, where a radiant golden tone is favored in the field. Further, an intricate all-over repeating botanical pattern flourishes across the canvas. Specifically, these motifs take the shape of stylized, serrated leafy crests and delicate floral sprigs in crisp white and cream tones, brilliantly capturing the soulful, slightly imperfect aesthetic of a hand-carved wooden block pressing ink into fabric. 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 contemporary masterpiece and a true connoisseur’s rug, teeming with artisanal history and textile culture. Boasting a particularly versatile accent size with vast applications in interior design today. The accompanying book, Jacques Majorelle by Félix Marcilhac, Amélie Marcilhac, is part of Volumes by Rug & Kilim. The book (SKU - B056) can be acquired independently through our bookstore.
