This striking room-size example from the second quarter of the 20th century features a brilliant red field adorned with five large floral bouquets — one centered, four placed gracefully at the corners — all framed by a dramatic black border richly embellished with continuous floral motifs. The vivid color, the bold composition, and the confident craftsmanship make this an exceptionally decorative piece — one that holds its own in formal dining rooms, grand living spaces, and traditional interiors where beauty and scale are both demanded.
