An ornate Persian carpet rendered entirely in teal and cream reveals its intricate floral medallion and scrolling vine patterns through layers of heavy distressing that softens every line. The weathered surface suggests age and use, with the dense, symmetrical botanical motifs becoming dreamlike where the color fades to ivory at the borders and throughout the worn field. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
