Description

By the 1840s a new technique [in the field] of needlepoint known as Berlin wool work was the rage. It arose in Germany at the beginning of the 19th century. New dyes became available and brightly colored wools could be worked in tent stitch on canvas. The patterns were painted by hand on “point paper,” which today would be called graph paper. Some of the patterns were copies of famous paintings.



The painting contains many symbols. The dress sword instead of a battle sword indicates a democratic form of government, and the pen and paper on the table signify the rule of law. The leg of the table is shaped like a fasces which is an ancient Roman symbol of power and authority.

We had an amazing experience with Cyrus, Pablo, and David— they went above and beyond and were so patient with helping us find the perfect rugs for our small spaces. They really know everything about every rug (and there are so many!) and clearly are passionate about what they do. We got a beautiful rug for our tiny dining area and a stair runner as well.
