Dalle Gioie degli Etruschi Rug by Linde Burkhardt

The elements of this exquisite rug, hand-woven in Nepal of Tibetan wool, come together around a central theme: the joyful representations of the animal kingdom as depicted on all Etruscan artifacts. Part of an exclusive collection by Linde Burkhardt, this rug is all played on neutral colors with contrasting edges in cobalt blue and black. Dolphins, horses, and dogs follow in joyful successions on the beige background of the first frame, while two cheetahs, a lion, and a wild boar stand in the light blue square center. The harmonious atmosphere is heightened by a flock of white doves. This piece is currently on show and immediately available at Artemest Galleria New York.
