Each design is truly timeless, based on superb originals dating back as far as the 15th century. Originally created to grace the palaces of ancient aristocracy and royalty, these remarkable artifacts now reside in outstanding private and museum collections. With the vision of Nourison’s talented designers and master craftsmen, they have been reinterpreted and reproduced to enhance today’s modern lifestyles. In depth of color, detail of design and pure artistry, the Timeless Collection recreates the opulence of the past for today’s discerning collectors. 80% New Zealand Wool 20% Nylon • Loom woven • Hand washed and hand finishedAlive with exceptional vibrancy, this exquisitely detailed floral extravaganza is the reincarnation of a magnificent 17th century Agra textile. Now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s renowned Robert Lehman Collection, the original is an impressive court piece of nearly 23 feet in length. Despite fading and wear, the antique textile still dazzles the eye with saturated hues of crimson, ebony, jade and gold. Its richly foliate design reaches through the centuries with the power of nature’s life force. Order is attained through a symmetrical pattern radiating out from a line of central palmettes and enclosed within a broad tripartite border. In Nourison’s interpretation, the fertile floral display is resplendent in sparkling gold, jade and sapphire details woven upon a regal crimson ground. Strikingly brilliant, with a flowing yet symmetrical aesthetic, the marvelous vitality of this masterwork fills the room with energy and warmth. Fabric 80% WOOL, 20% NYLON Dimensions 144 x 180 x 0.50
