A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This outstanding piece shows waves, panels, triangles, stripes, bands, and moiré transitions in shades of wine, brown, straw, beige, rust, and related tones. The border has been absorbed into the two-ended symmetric composition. Although probably not truly period, this carpet is at home with a 1920s–30s furnishing and art aesthetic.
