Carpet for Buckingham Palace
Amber Khokhar (MA 2005), who, through her studies at The School, realised her ability to create motifs informed by the patterns of nature, was commissioned to design a series of hand-loomed silk and wool carpets. After HRH The Prince of Wales saw her work, he suggested that she produce the design for a carpet for Buckingham Palace. After many site visits, she completed detailed scale drawings of her design, which was created to suggest rolling pastures covered with wild roses and stylised flowers. A large (40m long) carpet was completed and is now installed in the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace.
