About this work

Parterre or garden rug. Central field: division into three rectangles, the middle in cobalt blue and two in red, with cross medallions supplemented by triangles as spandrels. The crosses, light blue and brown, are white-bordered, each filled with starflowers set in a cross or octagon; the flowers in orange, red, blue, and white. The triangles are scattered with blossoms, and from their long sides long lying hooks extend toward the center. Border: one narrow selvedge of black with strung S-shapes in white, blue, orange, and brown, within plain bands.
