Originating from India, this Khotan design rug showcases a transitional style with a persimmon background and a raspberry border. The main color scheme consists of vibrant shades of orange, creating a striking visual impact. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug boasts a high level of quality and artistry.
The construction process of this rug involves meticulous attention to detail, starting with the final washing and multiple finishing processes conducted in Jaipur. Chromium dyes are utilized for their color accuracy, lightfastness, and consistency, particularly essential for custom orders and antique finishing techniques. The rugs are predominantly woven by smaller contractors who distribute designs, pre-dyed wools, and hand-spun materials to villages surrounding Jaipur, extending as far as Bikaner in the west. Weavers are compensated by the square meter and often work from their own homes, with larger rugs crafted on stationary horizontal looms in specific villages.
Featuring an asymmetrical Persian knotting technique, typical of Rajasthan rugs, this piece embodies a vintage, worn aesthetic due to its unique construction and finishing methods. A blend of Ghazni and South African wool creates a durable yet luxurious texture, while the double wefted foundation, comprising a thick bottom weft and a finer upper weft, adds depth and character to the rug. The ribbed texture of the wool knots and the subtle speckles of white weft contribute to the overall charm and visual appeal of the rug.
With a knots-per-square-inch count of 104, this rug boasts an impressive total of 2,634,425 individually hand-tied knots, reflecting the painstaking craftsmanship invested in its creation. The rug's overhead view reveals a captivating pattern featuring geometric motifs, floral elements, and intricate detailing. Warm tones of red, peach, and gold blend harmoniously with beige and light blue-green accents, creating a balanced gradient effect that enhances the rug's overall elegance.
The symmetrical layout, dense pattern, and absence of a central medallion highlight the rug's cohesive design and meticulous execution. Its borders, mirroring the central field's motifs on a smaller scale, add a sense of completion to the piece, emphasizing the meticulous attention to detail present throughout the entire rug. Rich in color and detail, this Indian Khotan design rug is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship and timeless beauty of traditional rug weaving techniques.
