Arts & Crafts Fragment by Gavin Morton BB6303 9'10" × 10'7" $40,000

This magnificent original rug by Gavin Morton reflects the best ideals of Arts&Crafts. The main assumption of the movement was to stand against the decline in standards of craftsmanship, spoiled by machine production of goods. There is nothing mediocre about this exceptional nature-related carpet. The beautiful, hand-knotted pile weave was created of the best quality wool. Design-wise, the rug is not overabundant but perfectly balanced. Its floral pattern largely alludes to Japanese aesthetics, bringing to mind cherry-tree blossom. The serene feel is emphasized by a pastel, delicate color palette, comprising of subtle tones of dusty pink, blue and taupe. Placed in an interior, the rug will enlighten the space with its glorious presence.
