Vibrant Modern Classic Silk and Wool Floral Rug, Country of Origin: India, Circa Date: Modern
The ground is a strong cornflower blue, and it is not flat — fine lighter and darker striations run down the length of the pile. The flowers come in at full strength over it: magenta blossoms the size of a fist, saffron petals, turquoise leaves, all outlined in ivory and strung on a thin pale vine.
This is a modern piece working a classic floral vocabulary, drawn in curves throughout rather than steps. The pile is silk and wool. The border deepens to a darker blue and carries gold palmettes with magenta and turquoise set between them.
At 8 ft 11 in by 11 ft 11 in it falls in the 9 x 12 size range, big enough to seat a sofa and two chairs entirely on the wool. The same design can be woven to your own dimensions as a custom rug.
