An hommage to the conoisseurship of the Malanotti De Caldes family. Next to their own production of fine wool and silk, they also maintained amicable relations to fine fabric makers in Asia, importing their silks to Venice.In the eighteenth century, the Qing empire was the largest and most prosperous country in the world, producing an enormous number of refined cultural and artistic works. In ceramic art, vivid color was a result of imperial admiration for European enamel objects. Eugenie Malanotti De Caldes, grandmother of De Caldes designer Mario Gagliardi, in reverence to these friendships collected Chinese porcelain objects and raised Japanese cherry trees in her vast garden. Handcrafted and hand-carved by De Caldes artisans in 100% New Zealand wool, this exceptional rug comes in two color variations: Shades of yellow and purple, and shades of tangerine and blue.
