Carpet of knotted-pile in pashmina (goat-hair) on silk warps and wefts. With a design of a serrated ogival trellis with naturalistically-rendered flowering plants in each compartment. Vertical wavy stems in yellow, forming ogee-shaped compartments enclosing devices of narcissus, rose, tulips, poppy and other flowers, in colours on a red ground. A narrow border of interlacing wavy floral and leafy stems, in colours, on a greenish-yellow ground, runs around the outside. There was originally an outer floral border which is now missing.
