Description:
Ingrain carpet with a polychrome abstract floral scroll-like design, with a prominent green color. Other colors of yarns include cream, yellow, red (these three in the warp), plus yellow, pink, and brown. The carpet is made up of six panels sewn together, with each panel being approx. 36.0" wide. There is also one separate piece, 34.0" wide. The larger design of flowers is about 7.0" x 7 1/2"; a smaller filler design that is more scroll-like measures about 3.0" x 3.0". It is in fair condition: One side has been cut, presumably to fit a room; there are tears in each seam, as well as a lighter color to some of the edges, possibly folded over to again fit a room's dimensions.
