AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A warm apricot-colored ground and a dark, curved central medallion define this hand-knotted silk rug from India. The cream-colored core of the medallion features a star-shaped bloom, surrounded by fine leaves and tendrils. Two smaller decorative ornaments above and below emphasize the longitudinal axis. In the inner field, numerous blossoms are distributed in cream, brick red, sage green, and slate blue.
The wide, dark-grounded border echoes the floral design with larger blooms and flowing tendrils. Several narrow ornamental bands enclose it. Light corner areas complement the apricot ground and connect the patterned field with the surrounding frame.
The flower and the base weave consist of silk. With dimensions of 242 × 155 cm, this rectangular Oriental rug is suitable for a seating area in the living room or a generous reading nook. Cream-colored upholstery echoes the light blossoms, while dark wood underlines the contours of the medallion. Textiles in muted green or warm terracotta complete the color composition.
