Originating from India, this rug features a Mahal design in a transitional style. The background of the rug is a cerulean hue, with a light blue border, and the main color theme is blue. It is crafted from wool on cotton, a traditional material for such rugs.
The rug has undergone meticulous production processes in Jaipur, including final washing and finishing. Chromium dyes are preferred for color accuracy, light fastness, and consistency, particularly with the additional antique finishing applied to these rugs. With an approximate knot density of 40 knots per square inch, variations may exist due to the cottage industry nature of production.
Most of these rugs are woven in villages outside of Jaipur by smaller contractors, with weavers primarily working in their own homes. The asymmetrical Persian knotting used in Rajasthan rugs contributes to their vintage look, while the wool blend includes Ghazni wool imported from Afghanistan and South African wool.
The foundation of the rug comprises a double weft—thick bottom weft and a finer upper weft—creating a textured appearance reminiscent of antique rugs. Designs are inspired by antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, blending traditional and modern color palettes harmoniously.
The pattern of this rug showcases intricate floral and geometric motifs in a dense, detailed arrangement. Soft, muted shades of light blue and beige dominate the color palette, enhancing the rug's elegance. Symmetry is key in the design, with mirrored patterns that create balance and visual appeal. The border complements the central design with simpler motifs in consistent shades of light blue and beige, adding to the rug's overall traditional aesthetic.
