On the Design:

Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will note the sheer variety of motifs and their unique orientation for a work of this period. The all over pattern is elaborate and meticulously detailed, with many subtle variations and a brilliant sense of movement therein. Its field and border background favors navy blue with midnight tones, while its patterns favor rust tones, brick red and beige-brown in their myriad of hues. Connoisseurs will further admire a nod to Qashqai rugs and similar Persian tribal rugs in this piece—beautifully adapted this large size and heavy, wooly look. It’s a regal and immersive palace rug, and for that matter a rare oversized rug one seldom sees from Voysey-style works in such condition today.
