Peony Rug Chart
48 ct silk gauze
5.6" X 8.56"
269 X 411 stitches
The original carpet upon which this design was based was approximately 12ft. X 18ft. with each flower being larger than a dinner plate. I prefer it scaled down to a smaller size, but even if you decided to stitch it on 24 ct, the size of the design would be authentic to the original. The design is in the style of Berlin Woolwork which was at the height of its popularity from about 1830 to 1880. The lush, rich colors would have been popular in the late 1800s. I have no information on the original design, but my guess is that it was factory made. The center is a repeat design rather than a perfectly centered central motif.
