Designed by George Walton (1867-1933) for Alexander Morton & Co. Measures: 11'6" x 15' - 350 x 457 cm
Flat-woven … more Designed by George Walton (1867-1933) for Alexander Morton & Co. Measures: 11'6" x 15' - 350 x 457 cm
Flat-woven Donegal carpet with a border of stylized meandering foliage contained in continuous green squares. The border frames a very open allover pattern of floral sprigs on a soft pink ground.
The simple pale rose pink and green colorway and certain design elements to the border are suggestive of Walton’s preference for a simplified and un-fussy aesthetic which increased the impact of his furniture and induced a ‘feeling of rest’.
