Originating from India, this Mahal-style transitional rug features a silver background and an ivory border, with grey as the main color. It is crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, ensuring durability and a soft texture. Recently woven, this rug has undergone multiple finishing processes in Jaipur, enhancing its appearance and quality.
The artisans employ chromium dyes for their accuracy in color and light fastness, especially beneficial for custom orders. The weaving is mostly conducted by smaller contractors who distribute designs and pre-dyed hand-spun wools to villages outside Jaipur, extending as far as Bikaner. Weavers work primarily from their homes, contracted and paid by the square meter. Larger rugs over 10 feet wide are typically handled by villages equipped with stationary horizontal looms.
Rajasthan rugs, including this one, are woven using an asymmetrical Persian-type knot, adding to the vintage and worn aesthetic of these newly made pieces. The rug is constructed with a blend of Ghazni wool from Afghanistan and South African wool. The foundation consists of a densely packed double weft: a thick bottom weft with up to 10 plies of dense cotton and a thinner, finer white upper weft that creates a ribbed texture once the rug is sheared down, mimicking the worn look of antique rugs.
The design predominantly draws inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, blending traditional and modern coloration. With a knots per square inch (KPSI) of 104, this rug contains approximately 1,203,830 individually hand-tied knots.
Visually, the rug displays a detailed and intricate floral pattern that repeats across its surface. The design incorporates geometrical shapes and stylized floral elements like flowers and leaves, rendered in muted tones of grey and beige. The darker grey background contrasts with the lighter shades highlighting the pattern, imparting a subtle elegance.
The rug features a well-defined border running along its edges, composed of several narrow bands. The outer border has a simple repeating pattern, while the inner bands showcase more detailed ornamentation, complementing the central design. This border effectively frames the intricate floral motifs.
Symmetry plays a key role in the rug's design, with mirrored repetition of motifs along both vertical and horizontal axes, contributing to a balanced and harmonious appearance. The dense pattern has limited negative space, with closely packed motifs emphasizing the detailed craftsmanship. This rug lacks a central medallion, focusing instead on the intricate, all-over pattern.

Don’t take our word for it


Last fall, my husband and I purchased a gorgeous silk from you for our Boston Condo. Based on the quality of your rugs and customer service, we decided to visit you again to purchase rugs for our Connecticut home. Luckily, we received your postcard about the tent sale and came home with two more stunning rugs.


I can't say enough good things about this store, especially Susanne and Breanna. I shop at many rug places as I am an interior designer looking for very specific rugs all the time. No one out there compares to this store and their wonderful Sales associates. Thank you Susanne and Breanna for all your help!


Over the past year we purchased three rugs, as well as carpet from L&A. Our experience could not have been more positive and we love what we purchased.
In addition, every single person
in the showroom was beyond helpful, knowledgeable and kind. It was truly a pleasure. Thank you!


Never have I enjoyed spending money as much as at Landry & Arcari!!! Thank you so much for your attention and guidance. The rug I chose grounds the furniture and makes the living room. It is so beautiful and I really appreciate all of your help.
