This Indian rug boasts a Khotan vase design, reflecting a transitional style. The background is a serene sky blue, complemented by a taupe border. The predominant color scheme features varying shades of blue. Crafted with wool on cotton, this rug offers a combination of traditional and modern elements in its design.
The weaving process of this rug takes place in Jaipur, involving a meticulous final washing and multiple finishing steps. The use of chromium dyes ensures color accuracy, light fastness, and consistency, particularly essential for customized orders and antique finishing techniques applied to these rugs. With an approximate knotting density of 40 knots per square inch, the artisanal nature of these rugs can lead to slight variations in knotting consistency across different weavers.
This rug is predominantly woven by smaller contractors working in villages surrounding Jaipur, with some weavers as far as Bikaner. The weavers operate within a cottage industry framework, often weaving in their homes or using stationary horizontal looms for larger rugs. Employing an asymmetrical Persian knotting technique, characteristic of Rajasthan rugs, this rug's construction and finishing contribute to its vintage and weathered appearance.
The South African and Ghazni wool blend used in this rug reflects a combination of high-quality materials. The double-wefted foundation consists of a thick bottom weft with dense cotton plys, paired with a finer, white upper weft that, when sheared down, creates a visual effect reminiscent of aged antique rugs. Drawing inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, the rug's design merges traditional motifs with contemporary color palettes.
Visually, this rug showcases a complex array of patterns, including geometric shapes, stylized trees, vases, and floral motifs. The light blue background sets the stage for beige, brown, and cream hues to harmonize within the design. With no distinct border, the patterns extend almost to the edges, framed by a light beige fringe at the top and bottom. The symmetrical layout and moderate to dense pattern density create a balanced and intricate visual appeal, devoid of a central medallion yet featuring uniform motifs spread across the rug's surface.
