This piece has a beautiful balance of calm and lively colour. A large coral red flower sits at the centre of a soft grey-beige ground, surrounded by generous blue leaves, yellow floral forms and small cream blossoms. The old pattern has been opened up and enlarged, giving it a very fresh, almost playful character.
What makes it particularly interesting is the texture. The weaver has combined flat weaving with knotted pile, allowing the wool flowers and leaves to rise above the flatter surface. Hand-spun wool and natural dyes add to the character of the piece. A narrow, colourful edging frames the design without dominating it. It is a creative carpet with enough presence to transform a room, while its gentle ground keeps the whole composition easy to live with.
