It’s a regal piece, yet full of whimsy and personal touches that distinguish it among similar curations today. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture.
