A cream field filled with large, boldly drawn floral forms: red serrated palmettes on branching stems, navy and gold flower-heads, blue split-leaf arabesques with forked tips, and green hooked tendrils, all arranged around a central horizontal bar with a red rosette at its heart. The corners carry small gold and red lattice fans. A wide red border of big angular hooked scrolls in navy, gold and ivory, with small star-flowers between them, runs between sawtooth guard stripes, with a short fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. The field is mirrored end to end around the central bar: the pair of blue arabesques, the gold four-petal flower and the red crab-like motif at the top of the rug all reappear, reversed, at the bottom. At 80×121cm this is an extra small rug — a doorway, bedside or small hallway piece.
