Ember Damask - Terracotta Abstract

A horizontal abstract in warm orange, rust and terracotta. Faint, symmetrical scroll-like shapes sit beneath a surface of fine vertical streaks and flecks. The overall effect is soft and textile-like, with very little contrast.

Someone wants this piece because it looks like a rich orange wall covering at first glance and only slowly shows ornate, mirrored scrollwork underneath. It gives a room a lot of warmth without a loud focal point. A homeowner with a sofa or bed wall that needs warmth, and who is tired of flat orange abstracts, gets pattern and softness in one piece. The scrolls are faint enough to leave the colour in charge, but they reward anyone who steps closer.
