The effect is deliberately painterly: no two areas of the field read the same way, and the deep pile shifts colour as the light moves across it. The reverse retains its original manufacturer's label, printed with the pattern details, the 200 × 300 cm size and the period retail price.

A genuine centrepiece: at 200 × 300 cm it anchors a large living room, and the graphic strength of the pattern makes it equally effective mounted as a textile wall hanging. This piece has an attribution mark,
