A storm's gesture, caught and stilled before it could finish. Charcoal and pewter spiral across ivory in one continuous turn, dense where the hand pressed hardest and thinning to almost nothing at the edges.

• Single spiral: charcoal and pewter in one sweeping turn
• Ivory ground: bright beneath the storm
• Layered strokes: hand-tufted in Jodhpur for real depth
• Brushstroke effect: like ink when a brush refuses to lift
• Best placed: beneath a deep emerald sofa, under a Georgian cornice or concrete ceiling
