Have you seen the wonderful designs of William Morris?
A key figure in the Arts & Crafts Movement, Morris championed a principle of handmade production that didn't chime with the Victorian era's focus on industrial'progress.
This small piece exhibits a forceful design on a small scale in a small area. These kinds of small Turkish yastiks or mats are found which contain an extraordinary amount of power within a very small space. There are large diamond medallions in the center-so large it almost touches the edge of the field. Even though the central motive is already robust and large in size, there is yet room in which to comfortably place the other motifs in the corners. Among specialists, Anatolian carpets kilims are believed to record symbols of ancient values and ideas, a tradition that dates back several millennia and was only displaced during the industrial age. The Anatolian kilim design tradition probably owes its lucky survival to the fact that pile-woven carpets look more precious and would already have had a higher prestige value several millennia ago. Kilim weaving was, therefore, able to survive undisturbed within an intact cultural context for a long period of time. The design of this rug is interpreted with unusual floral borders and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.
