Originating in India, this transitional rug features the Malatya design, boasting a background in lavender and a cinnamon border. The main color scheme of the rug is purple, crafted from wool on cotton. The knotting density is approximately 40 knots per square inch, with variations due to the cottage industry nature of these rugs.
Handwoven in Jaipur, the final washing and finishing processes ensure quality and durability. The rugs are dyed using chromium dyes known for color accuracy and lightfastness. Typically woven by smaller contractors in villages surrounding Jaipur and sometimes as far as Bikaner, these rugs are made by weavers paid per square meter. The construction involves an asymmetrical Persian knotting technique, contributing to the vintage appearance of the rug.
The wool blend includes Ghazni wool imported from Afghanistan and South African wool. The double-wefted foundation consists of a thick bottom weft with densely packed cotton and a finer upper weft for added texture. This results in a lighter overall appearance mimicking the wear of antique rugs over time.
Drawing inspiration from antique Persian and Khotanese carpets, the design blends traditional and modern elements. This rug is a testament to traditional craftsmanship and timeless elegance, perfect for adding a touch of sophistication to any space.
