This transitional-style rug from India features a Serapi design and an ivory background with a mint-colored border. Recently woven with a blend of Ghazni and South African wool on a sturdy cotton foundation, the rug highlights both traditional and modern elements. The construction incorporates asymmetrical Persian knots, well-known in Rajasthan for creating a ribbed texture, and achieves an antique look through multiple finishing processes done in Jaipur. Chromium dyes are used for their color accuracy and lightfastness, especially beneficial for custom orders.

The production process involves smaller contractors distributing designs and materials to village weavers, some located as far as Bikaner. These artisans work primarily in their homes, paid by the square meter. Larger rugs, those over 10 feet wide, are typically produced in villages equipped with stationary horizontal looms. The double-wefted foundation of the rug includes a dense bottom weft of thick cotton and a finer white upper weft, which, once sheared, reveals a texture similar to worn antique rugs.

With an impressive knots-per-square-inch (KPSI) of 104, this rug contains approximately 1,211,554 individually hand-tied knots. Featuring intricate floral and vegetal elements, the design includes a large, ornate central medallion with floral and geometric motifs. The muted color palette consists mainly of beige, light blue, and taupe, providing a sophisticated yet subtle contrast. The rug's defined border includes multiple decorative bands that mirror the main field's themes, contributing to the overall symmetrical balance of the design.
