Lophelia

An all-over lattice design with floral shields and tendrils. The lilac lattice ‘bar’ is covered with black vines which spiral into blooms and give the rug a naturalistic feel. The very simple border provides just enough weight to bind the design and stop it escaping. Shah Abbas palmettes and the naive rosettes are mirrored, inverted at each repetition. The lattice network repeats across the field of the rug and implicitly beyond the border.
