The central field is decorated with a peacock rosette in bluish-green, against a terracotta base. It is connected to the inner stripe of the border with four curved tendrils that end in leaves. The inner stripe is ornamented with cherry-red against a green base. The outer, wider border shows Art Nouveau wavy ornaments in cherry red, blue, yellow against a gray base. The wave turns terracotta at the corners. This carpet was exhibited at the 1902 exhibition in Torino.
