Hand-knotted, polychrome New Zealand wool
Inspired by the iconic face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri, Barnaba Fornasetti's Il Bacio hand-knotted carpet transforms her timeless beauty into a work of art. Crafted from polychrome New Zealand wool, it highlights Cavalieri's striking red lips, a signature of the Tema e Variazioni series. Crafted with meticulous attention, this piece reflects Fornasetti's unique fusion of elegance and surrealism.
