Red

Inspired by a section of Hope ll, this rug could be mistaken for a Chinese Art Deco piece. It's part of my exploration for a new style that can take the place of a traditional Oriental rug. I manipulated the size and repetition of the elements and changed some of the colors. The gold ovals in the field create a gleaming surface. For a border, I used a typical Klimt scroll design in two levels and two colors of pure silk. This rug is a showstopper! A version of this rug is on display in the 56th Street lobby of Metropolitan Tower in NYC. 25% New Zealand wool / 75% natural silk.200 knots per sq.inch (200 knots per 2.5 sq.cm.) Hand-knotted in Nepal. 6' x 9' . Price includes shipping.
