On the Design:

This mid-century piece features diamond medallions in orange, brown and blue — motifs sometimes called lozenges in tribal vernacular. These rich and vibrant colors enjoy a notably natural sense of movement and warmth atop the gray abrashed background. Keen eyes will note colorful accents and borders in with a lively touch to this classic, cultured piece.

A playful employ of archaic design exemplifies works of this provenance—among the most primitive, collectible shabby-chic styles.

A delicious pile piece in good condition. less
