Originating from India, this transitional style rug showcases a distinctive design featuring large fish motifs set against a seamless ocean-themed background. With a prominent main color of blue and a carmel border, this eye-catching piece is crafted from wool on cotton, offering both durability and a luxurious feel underfoot.

The production process of this rug involves meticulous attention to detail in Jaipur, where the final washing and multiple finishing procedures take place. The use of chromium dyes ensures color accuracy in custom orders, along with lightfastness and consistency, particularly beneficial for the antique finishing these rugs undergo. Each rug boasts a knotting density of approximately 40 knots per square inch, varying slightly between weavers due to the cottage industry nature of production.

Subcontracted weavers primarily work in villages outside of Jaipur and even as far as Bikaner, employing the asymmetrical Persian knotting technique that has been a part of Rajasthan's weaving tradition for centuries. Made from a blend of Ghazni and South African wool, these rugs feature a double-wefted foundation with a thick bottom weft comprising multiple dense cotton plies and a finer upper weft to enhance texture and give a vintage, weathered appearance.

Drawing inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, the rug's design combines traditional and modern color palettes, resulting in a visually striking aquatic theme. The rug's vibrant appearance is characterized by an array of fish patterns in shades of orange, cream, light blue, and other lively colors, set against the deep blue backdrop reminiscent of the ocean. The asymmetrical arrangement of fish and sea creatures on the rug enhances the organic, aquatic feel, while the moderate pattern density allows the intricate details of each fish to stand out against the background, creating a balanced and engaging visual composition.
