This elegant vintage Indian silk rug exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and luminous beauty of late 20th-century handwoven rugs. Hand-knotted entirely of silk—both pile and foundation—this piece dates to the fourth quarter of the 1900s and offers a sophisticated interplay of geometry, color, and sheen.
The composition centers on a bold geometric medallion rendered in deep forest green, set against a luminous ivory-cream field that enhances the silk’s natural luster. Matching dark green corner spandrels and a coordinating border provide visual balance and architectural clarity. Subtle yet striking accent tones of warm brown, golden yellow, and black are thoughtfully woven throughout, adding depth, contrast, and a sense of movement to the overall design.
