Painter’s palette rug

Vera considers this hand-tufted rug – an interpretation of a painter's palette designed by Lachaert Dhanis – to be her masterpiece. She doesn't know precisely how many colours she used because she worked intuitively, combining colours to create new shades. She also varied the pile height and used different thicknesses of wool thread. The rug is a harmonious collaboration between craft and art, a symbiosis between artistic expression and artisan methods.
