Silk Rug 2357

This refined vintage Indian silk rug showcases the elegance and precision of late 20th century hand-knotting traditions at their most luxurious. Crafted in India during the fourth quarter of the 1900s, the rug features a lustrous silk pile woven on a durable cotton foundation — a construction that combines the brilliance and softness of pure silk with the structural stability of a cotton base. The design is anchored by a graceful floral medallion rendered in deep forest green, set against a complementary ground and framed by an elegantly appointed border.

The use of silk pile on a cotton foundation allows the weaver to achieve the luminous sheen and extraordinary fineness of a silk rug while producing a piece of greater practical durability and dimensional stability than all-silk construction. This piece brings the warmth, refinement, and luminous quality of the Indian silk weaving tradition to any interior.
