Lily carpet
The artefact
The elegant decoration of this woollen carpet reproduces a design of the local tradition, the lily, realised in a harmonious mirror-effect composition with contrasting shades in blue, lilac and orange on a neutral background. Handcrafted using a loom according to the tutto pieno (full bodied) pibiones relief technique, it is a prized home décor accessory of strong decorative value. It can be customised in size, composition and colour.
