Sardinian Carpet
80% wool (melange gray), 20% cotton
The field is composed entirely of fine, closely set horizontal ridges that read as a continuous striped rug, alternating bands of pale ivory and deeper taupe-gray creating a subtle, all-over rhythm rather than a distinct border. No central medallion or corner ornament interrupts the surface; the pattern is achieved purely through tonal shifts in the banding. The detail view shows a slightly irregular, textured ground with visible ridged rows running on the diagonal, giving the surface a tactile, corded quality.
