On the Design:Connoisseurs may admire this floral rug for the versatility of its size, its character full of movement and life, thereby making it a delicious piece with limitless design applications. This particular style was often called “vase carpet” for its depiction of flower vases in a riot of colors. Keen eyes may further note a pictorial element in the design, namely a resemblance to a bird in the larger patterns at play.
