Welcome to my new blog! This is to let you know of what's happening in the John Briggs Perth & Stonehaven shops, and what new rugs, kilims, lanterns, ceramics, carved wood boxes, furniture & jewellery we are getting in. For the textile collectors among you, watch this space! I'll be posting pictures on the day new pieces arrive.
To kick it all off in style, here are some images of the fabulous Konya kilim we received recently from Turkey. It has the most spectacular colours, and notably a bright pink (a common dye in the first half of the twentieth century in Anatolian weaving). It's the combination of colours that makes this so attractive; the blue, yellow, green and pink dyes are incredibly bright & vivid, but contrasted against the very natural, soft, warm madder root background they give this piece so much depth and interest. The date "1938" is woven in white, against the deep navy of the central medallion. It measures 306 x 183cm (10ft x 6ft), price £1500.

ReplyDeleteTypical living room rug sizes are 8'x10′ and handmade 7x7 size rugs for sale . Make sure your rug is at least 6″ wider (8″ is ideal) than your sofa on both sides. Typically run the rug the length of the sofa. Give 30″ to 36″ of a walkway between large furniture pieces (if your living room allows for it) if not then at least 18″-24″.
