Woven entirely of wool in a durable flat-weave construction, this piece reflects the strong, graphic design sensibilities prevalent during the early 20th century.
The palette is expertly restrained, utilizing a sophisticated interplay of neutral tones. The field is dominated by variegated shades of gray color rugs, providing a soft, atmospheric backdrop for the bold motifs. Accents of deep chocolate brown, cream, and subtle khaki complete the minimalist yet powerful composition.
Characterized by powerful, stepped geometric forms, the design features two large, interlocking diamond medallions that anchor the central axis.

Its robust construction and timeless, graphic aesthetic ensure that this 1930s flat weave remains a versatile and highly collectible piece for modern interiors.
