This lovely example uses a traditional design. The rug features a central medallion that radiates from the centre in a book-match pattern (symmetrical). Vibrant red silk provides an excellent opportunity to show the curvilinear flower design. Duck egg shades punctuate lovely shades of blue. The outer border is a soft cream. Please note that the final photograph shown is taken from the opposite end. It allows you to see the silk's pile direction.
