Common Threads Collection Watteau No. 3 8x10 from Jan Kath

The Watteau No. 3 from Jan Kath's Common Threads Collection draws inspiration from 18th and 19th-century Scandinavian darning samplers—historical textiles documenting mending techniques elevated to folk art. Named for the Rococo painter who championed chromatic vitality, this 8'1" x 10'1" rug honors that same spirit through its composition. Hand-knotted wool and silk strips form blue-toned lattice and chevron patterns that traverse a neutral cream flat-woven wool ground, creating an architectural yet playfully artisanal aesthetic. The interplay between structured geometry and folk-craft sensibility yields a piece that bridges contemporary design with textile heritage. Crafted in India (Rug #8852), it invites both visual and conceptual engagement within refined interiors.
