$2,485. A largely open field in soft silver-grey is bracketed at either end by broad bands of undulating teal, rose and coral, a treatment owing more to mid-century design than to any classical carpet tradition. Tibetan workshops have become the natural home for contemporary carpet design because the cut-loop knot they employ produces a plush, slightly irregular surface that flatters large fields of single colour, where a finer and tighter weave would look flat and mechanical. Restraint at the centre is precisely what allows the graphic borders to register. Highland wool, hand-knotted, with cream fringe. Design pattern: Open field with undulating geometric end borders, contemporary Tibetan. Size: 6'7" x 9'10". Gallery Collection.
