LoomBloom Hand Knotted 150 KPSI Black,Cream All-Over Wool Traditional Area Rug
Description
Envision an intricately hand-knotted rug from India, boasting an opulent palette of colors—Black, Cream, Tan, Blush, Aqua, Burgundy, and Sage—with a meticulous 150 knots per square inch. Reflecting the Indo-Persian fusion, this piece marries traditional Persian rug patterns with innovative interpretations. While reminiscent of Persian templates, its botanical and floral elements within a multi-band border showcase a more ornate, curvilinear, and baroque design. Story Behind the Art: It was during the Mughal rule in India that the rug industry reached its zenith and came on its own as an art form. With Emperor Akbar setting up rug weaving centers in Agra, Delhi and Lahore during the late 16th century, the rugs produced designs that followed the Persian style. However, by the 17th century, the Indian rugs began to grow their own lexical and semantic iconography and differed significantly from the Persian prototypes. 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.
