Originating from India, this intricately designed rug features an Oushak design with a transitional style. The background of the rug is a vibrant mandarin color, with a mint border framing the central pattern. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug boasts a knotting density of approximately 40 knots per square inch, showcasing the unique asymmetrical Persian knotting characteristic of rugs from Rajasthan.
The production process of this rug involves final washing and multiple finishing processes in Jaipur. Commonly woven by smaller contractors in villages surrounding Jaipur and as far as Bikaner, the weavers are paid by the square meter and often work from their own homes. The wool used in this rug is a blend of Ghazni wool imported from Afghanistan and South African wool, providing durability and a textured finish.
In terms of construction, the rug features a double wefted foundation made of thick bottom weft and a finer, white upper weft, creating a ribbed texture at the collar of the wool knots. This construction style, coupled with the asymmetrical Persian knotting, contributes to the vintage worn look of the rug. The designs draw inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, blending traditional and modern color palettes.
Visually, this rug showcases a detailed and busy pattern with floral and geometric elements such as trees, foliage, medallions, and rosettes. The color scheme includes a vibrant reddish-orange background with hints of green, white, beige, and yellow, imparting a vintage and distressed aesthetic. Symmetrically arranged, the rug's borders feature intricate designs that complement the central pattern, creating a harmonious and balanced appearance. The dense pattern covers the rug almost entirely, ensuring a visually rich and appealing texture.
