A tree of life is one of the oldest stories a weaver can tell: roots below, branches above, and the living world between. Here it grows from a black field, still as the inside of a cave, with two birds keeping watch in its crown. Austere and tender at once, it is the most quietly dramatic piece in the collection.
What it is made of
A rug is only as noble as its fibre. We treat our materials the way a tailoring house treats cashmere: sourced with care, handled by hand, never hurried.
