Flowery meadow carpet
The artefact
This large original carpet in Sardinian wool reinterprets, in a modern key, one of the most common motifs of local textile iconography, the flower with eight petals, designed in asymmetric composition and of contemporary taste. 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.
