Originating from India, this transitional-style rug features a Serapi design. The background color of this rug is pistachio, complemented by a nutmeg border. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug boasts a main color of green.

With a recent weaving, this rug has undergone final washing and finishing processes in Jaipur. The use of chromium dyes enhances color accuracy, light-fastness, and consistency, especially with the antique finishing applied to these rugs. Most of the weaving is carried out by smaller contractors who distribute designs, pre-dyed wools, and hand-spun wools to villages outside of Jaipur, with some villages situated as far away as Bikaner to the west. The weavers, paid by the square meter, primarily weave these rugs in their own homes, while larger rugs wider than 10 feet are typically made in villages equipped with stationary horizontal looms. Rajasthan rugs are woven using an asymmetrical Persian-type knot, contributing to their unique construction and vintage appearance.

The wool used in this rug is a blend of Ghazni wool imported from Afghanistan and South African wool. The double-wefted foundation consists of a thick bottom weft with dense cotton and a finer, pure white, upper weft. This construction, combined with the asymmetrical knotting, contributes to the visible texture and overall lighter appearance of the rug. The designs are inspired by antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, blending traditional and modern color palettes.

Featuring 104 knots per square inch, this rug contains a total of 1,201,545 hand-tied knots. The visual description of this rug highlights its intricate and traditional design, including a central medallion with geometric and symmetrical patterns, detailed floral and abstract motifs, a soft color palette with darker accents, multiple borders with varying motifs, high symmetry, and a moderately dense pattern with open spaces.
