Late autumn, when a garden refuses to give up its colour. A flame-like coral bloom opens in one corner of a deep umber ground, with fern fronds in dusty rose and sage climbing beside it.

• Coral bloom: petals sharp as flame
• Deep umber ground: rich and warm
• Dusty rose and sage fronds: climbing across the field
• Hand-tufted in Jodhpur: dense, matte colour that stays bright
• Best placed: beneath a low brass table, under a Georgian cornice or concrete ceiling
