Water was a sacred motif for Renaissance artists. Venere evokes the ephemeral splash of a fountain with a stitched linen alpaca blend and mouliné lines over a ground of Marble mohair.
Evoking the inventive spirit of the Italian Renaissance and the Ottoman Empire, Atelier 2020 tells a richly layered story across a wide range of styles and construction. From dobby-woven rugs that feature an exquisite hand-stitched brocade to richly textured tufted rugs to sophisticated Jacquard weaves, each rug is made to order in Fall River by Merida’s master craftsmen.
