A dense all-over diamond lattice runs across the full field in ivory-white and cool steel-grey, with burnt terracotta-rust bleeding through from beneath in irregular clouds that pool most heavily at the perimeter and fade toward the centre. The close-up confirms a low, tightly compressed pile with a matte, slightly coarse wool surface. No border. The terracotta edge reads as a frame the field generates itself. Made in India.
PLATE II — OF VIII▸ Full view of a rectangular rug with a rust border and a mottled grey and cream centre worked in fine diamond latticeThe red you see in the field is not one red. It is seven dye lots, each pulled at a slightly different hour from the same copper vat,the variation lives only in the wool, never in the recipe.
PLATE III — OF VIII▸ Close crop of rug pile folded along a diagonal ridge, showing cream and grey knots flecked with rust.
