About the Item

80458, distressed craniotomy vintage red skull area rug inspired by Alexander McQueen. This distressed vintage Persian rug was overdyed red and shorn with the centre field resisted in softer red hues in the shape of a human skull. Glamorous and morose, this variegated crimson colored skull rug symbolizes a dichotomy in the creative world, one in which death is part of life and life part of death. Recalling the skull designs of fashion designer Alexander McQueen, this vintage Persian rug received new life in the symbolism of death. Dramatic and beautiful, this rug will add elegance to nearly any space. Applicable for a variety of interior styles: Gothic, Victorian, Eclectic, Industrial, Medieval, Steampunk, Machine Age, Contemporary, Modern, Urban, converted factor apartments, and perfect for MC motorcycle club skull decor. Catering to traditional style with a twist of modern eclectic design, this red overdyed skull rug celebrates Craniotomy and eccentric home decor.
