Dorothy`s Kilim Sunflower/Tump Green

Description

The delicately embroidered stripe design of this striking kilim lends to a room a diversity of pattern as well as added depth and a tactile finish. Dorothy`s Kilim draws from the original found in the bedroom of Dorothy Walker, the well-travelled daughter of Sir Emery (noted typographer and close friend of William Morris`s). This colourful kilim is decorated in the Persian style and features geometric motifs typical of kilims from the old Persian Empire — Turkey and Turkic states. Morris & Co. are thrilled to introduce only their second kilim ever for the Emery Walker`s House collection. Dorothy, like her father, travelled widely and rejoiced in the local craft traditions, as is evidenced by this iconic kilim.
