Dash & Albert's - Field of Flowers




The Kaffe Fassett designed Field of Flowers by the Dash & Albert Rug Company

Hand hooked with smaller "mini" loops in a finer-gauge 100% wool yarn, the wool micro-hooked area rugs are flatter and less plush than the regular hooked rugs. Perfect for high-traffic areas, these rugs require little maintenance and have a durable construction to assure longevity. Each rug is finished with a cotton canvas backing, attached with latex.


Regular vacuuming and the occasional gentle shake should keep your rug in shipshape condition, though hooked area rugs may require occasional minor grooming to stay looking their best. From time to time, as a hooked rug settles, a stray loop of yarn may pop up. This is perfectly normal. Do not pull the loop; simply trim it with scissors. Our wool micro-hooked area rugs naturally lose a bit of fuzz. This is natural, simply fetch a vacuum and groom away. For all wool rugs, we recommend professional cleaning only.

  Beautiful fields of flowers throughout the world

And how fabulous do they look at French & Country !

The Silhouettes from Silhouettes & More that I bring into Australia would look fabulous grouped together on a wall.  I'm thinking that the Martha & George Washington silhouettes would look fabulous on a wall surrounded with black frames or in a shadow mount box frame......food for thought!

I recently convinced someone to remove the plates from one of the walls in their home and place a large French oil painting in their place.......maybe all that needed to happen was to change the colour of the wall or the plates hung a little more dramatically......
Sorry Mum!

French Artist Georges Robin







Georges Robin Biography

Georges Robin was born in Paris in 1903. He studied at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts and later developed as a decorative artist, becoming quite well-known for his theatrical scenery, especially at the Charleville Theatre and at the Dinan Casino.

Robin is considered to be one of the finest landscape painters in France, with the ability to weave his compositions into a perfect harmony of color and line. His work at the International Exhibition in 1937 won him the Gold Medal, and he has been given commissions by both the Grand Duke of Luxembourg and Czechoslovakia for pictures of the Prague and its suburbs.
