Ikat designs are known for soft, blurred edges, and this hand-knotted wool Indo-Persian rug recreates that look in pile. The rug features feathery plumes and shield shapes in coral red, olive green and gold on a cream and pale blue ground. Small diamond and flame motifs repeat down the length of the rug and keep the eye moving. This transitional Indo-Persian rug brings the soft look of ikat to a durable wool pile.
Individually woven by skilled artisans, each rug is a truly one-of-a-kind piece. This authentic craftsmanship results in a distinct work of art built to last for generations.
Construction: Hand-knotted from wool, selected for its resilience and its ability to hold rich color and definition across the pattern.
Care & Maintenance: Vacuum regularly using suction only, avoiding a rotating beater bar. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and rotate the rug periodically to distribute wear evenly. Professional cleaning is recommended to keep the pile looking its best.

Story Behind the Art: Indo Persian rugs (made in India) are a specific rug style that favors the weaving and design techniques of the authentic Persian rugs from Iran. The rugs retain the essence of the Persian rugs and produce identical themes and patterns consisting of beautifully designed medallions, niches, trees and figural motifs and all-over floral motifs. It was during the Mughal rule in India that the rug industry reached its zenith and came on its own as an art form. Tight weaving, silk like wool, bright, deep color range and realistic motifs became the defining feature of Indian rugs. It is this combination of exquisitely detailed and painstaking craftsmanship and masterful interplay of design elements that has earned Indian rugs age-defying allure and patronship defying borders and time.
