This Indian rug features a Griffin design with a transitional style. The background of the rug is a Nantucket hue, complemented by a taupe border. Crafted from wool on cotton, this rug boasts a new condition, having been recently woven.
The production of this rug involves intricate processes, including final washing and multiple finishing stages done in Jaipur. Chromium dyes are utilized for custom orders to ensure color accuracy, lightfastness, and consistency, especially with the antique finishing applied to these rugs. The weaving of these rugs is typically entrusted to smaller contractors who distribute designs and materials to villages around Jaipur, extending as far as Bikaner to the west. Weaving primarily takes place in weavers' homes, with larger rugs assigned to villages equipped with stationary horizontal looms.
Rajasthan rugs are characterized by asymmetrical Persian knots, contributing to their unique construction and vintage appearance. A blend of Ghazni and South African wool is used, supported by a double-wefted, densely packed cotton foundation for durability. The design inspiration stems from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, blending traditional and modern color schemes.
With 104 knots per square inch, this rug boasts a total of 416,304 individually hand-tied knots. Visually, the rug exudes a rustic and vintage charm, characterized by a muted color palette and a slightly distressed aesthetic. The abstract pattern, inspired by traditional motifs, features organic and floral elements dispersed irregularly across the rug. Predominantly warm, muted red tones harmonize with softer shades of beige, light brown, greys, and off-whites, creating a subtle interplay.
Lacking a distinct border, the rug is framed by a simple fringe on the top and bottom, enhancing its aged look. The design lacks a central medallion, opting for a more asymmetrical and scattered arrangement. The low pattern density allows the base color to shine through, further contributing to the rug's casual and vintage appeal.
