Wool and cotton rug, 'The Persian Paradigm' (2.5x4)
Well-defined crosses encased inside seductive diamonds expand across this hand-crafted rug. Twinkling accents at the tips of the design offer subtle illumination to the cool collection of colors. Presented by Syed Izaz Hussein, this piece is executed by sewing woolen strands onto a pure cotton base, where the design has previously been sketched out. The texture and tone are unmatched.
