VW Union Jack Flag Rug, 2005
handwoven wool aubusson
2.44 x 1.44m (8 x 4ft9in)

Footnotes

Vivienne Westwood and The Rug Company joined forces in 2005. The iconic 'VW Flag' motif was first provocatively modelled as a bridal stole in the Autumn/Winter 02/03 'Anglophilia' collection. The raggedy worn-out and possibly blood-soaked original flag is precisely reproduced in very fine hand woven wool tapestry, which can used on the floor or as a hanging.
