Originating from India, this rug features a Serapi design with transitional style elements. The background of the rug is a deep ink blue, while the border showcases a refreshing mint hue. The main color scheme predominantly consists of various shades of blue, complemented by soft whites and muted browns.
Crafted from wool on a cotton foundation, this rug boasts a knot density of approximately 40 knots per square inch, a characteristic that may vary slightly due to the cottage industry nature of production. The weaving of these rugs typically takes place in villages outside of Jaipur, reaching as far as Bikaner in the west. Weavers, contracted and compensated per square meter, primarily work from their homes using an asymmetrical Persian knotting technique.
In terms of construction, this rug showcases a blend of Ghazni and South African wool, contributing to its unique ribbed texture and vintage aesthetic. The foundation consists of a double wefted structure, with a thick bottom weft made of dense cotton and a finer upper weft for added texture and brightness after shearing.
The intricate design of this rug incorporates floral and botanical motifs inspired by antique Persian and Khotanese carpets. Its color palette strikes a balance between traditional and modern, predominantly featuring cool tones for a soothing yet intricately detailed visual effect.
The rug is adorned with multiple borders of varying widths, each showcasing unique geometric and floral patterns. A central medallion, seamlessly blending into the overall design, features a large floral motif surrounded by smaller symmetrical elements. The dense pattern of the rug leaves little empty space, emphasizing meticulous detailing and symmetry throughout its design.
