On the Design:

Admirers of the craft and collectors of fine textile art will note the mocha brown border and cream white field underscore large-scale medallions like wheels and clouds in their curvaceous beauty, and the keen eye will note specially present green and beige tones in the many colors at work in this rich design. Admirers of the craft will particularly enjoy the execution of repetition, and the fabulous detail to the drawing—full of movement and the elegant air so beloved in this aesthetic that underscores our entire collection.

Standing out among an archive of historic inspirations recaptured with grace and modern quality, the rolling, cloud-like whimsy in the field geometry enjoys a tasteful, meticulous stylistic definition that offers an intelligent juxtaposition to the more traditional, ornately intricate border geometry. It creates a dimensionality while both enjoy the skillful sheen of silk in the more radiant hues made to complement the richer colors enjoying this appealing pile texture; the work of one of the most respected workshops in Nepal. less
