Originating from India, this transitional style rug showcases a Kars design with a spice background and russet border. The main color scheme revolves around vibrant shades of orange. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug boasts a knot density of approximately 40 knots per square inch, with variations due to the decentralized nature of production. Typically woven in villages by individual contractors, these rugs undergo final washings and finishing in Jaipur.
Utilizing asymmetrical Persian knotting characteristic of Rajasthan rugs, this piece features a blend of Ghazni and South African wool, contributing to its vintage worn appearance. The construction includes a double wefted, densely packed cotton foundation, with a unique upper weft exhibiting white speckles that become visible post-shearing, resembling an antique rug's wear over time. The design draws inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, amalgamating traditional and modern colorations.
Visually, this rug presents a bold and intricate pattern composed of large hexagonal and diamond shapes interwoven with smaller geometrical elements within. Warm earth tones like browns, rust, and ochre dominate, complemented by dark red, deep blue, and off-white accents, creating a striking contrast. The distressed, aged appearance adds depth to the colors, enhancing its antique allure.
The symmetrical layout of the rug contributes to its overall balanced aesthetics, with meticulous attention to detail evident in the pattern density. A defined border frames the central design, embellished with a zigzag motif extending to the perimeter for a coherent finish. Each section mirrors its adjacent counterpart, culminating in a harmonious visual flow that captivates the onlooker.
