A spacious design and restrained color palette of lavender and modulated brass imbues this meditative piece with a subtle ambiance appropriate for an elegant large space. The open arrangement of the design allows the soft ochre background tones to subtly support the lovely, finely woven overall pattern. Echoing the intentional restraint of the field, the surrounding border displays its leaves and palmettes with an even greater degree of open space. This artful delineation provides a subtle but clear distinction between the two sections while maintaining its cohesive design. On the outer edge of the border, a band in the same color as the field makes certain the carpet’s final note is peaceful.
