The design is dramatically framed by a contrasting border of vibrant, oxidized teal and mustard gold, offering a deeply luxurious foundation.

On the Design:

This magnificent, hand-knotted in luxurious silk, is a breathtaking convergence of treasured heritage and contemporary color artistry.

The exceptional sheen and liquid-like texture of the silk pile give the entire piece a luminous, ever-shifting depth.

The field is a masterful revival of classic Persian and Mughal designs, featuring a dense, all-over pattern of intricate medallions, star motifs, and stylized florals.

This traditional intricacy is updated with a highly sophisticated, modern palette: the main field is rendered in complex, shifting tones of deep mauve, plum, and antique brown, giving the design a time-worn, charcoal-like depth.

The drama is amplified by the exceptionally vibrant yet oxidized border, which bursts forth in a brilliant band of pale teal and vivid mustard gold. This powerful juxtaposition—the soothing, muted field against the jewel-toned frame—transforms the piece into a compelling visual anchor.

The intentional color wash across the silk softens the ancient pattern, causing the rich hues to blend and flow, creating a truly unique heirloom of the modern era. This rug offers a foundation that is both historically rich and undeniably luminous. See less
