All of its areas including its grand medallion, its field, corner pieces and multiple borders are filled with delicately curving elegant floral patterns, executed with impeccable precision in an impressive array of colors and the resulting effect of this densely packed, complex and meticulously rendered design is not an intense look however. Rather, it is a mesmerizing, ethereal kaleidoscopic view of floral splendor in the most gorgeous and delicate hues of dark and light pink, ivory, salmon and yellow.
