10'3" x 14'8" Indian Oriental Rug | Dark Blue Jaipur Floral All Over Design | Brand New

This is a large, formal, hand-knotted wool rug from Jaipur in northern India, drawn in the classical tradition and finished to a standard that holds its own beside much older workshop pieces. At 10'3" x 14'8" it is a true room-filling floor covering, with a midnight blue field carrying a full all over floral system and a wide burgundy main border framing it on 4 sides. The pile is dense, evenly clipped and still carrying its original sheen, the selvages are tight, and the rug has never been on a floor. Every piece we sell ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming that it is 100% hand-knotted and describing the size, materials and origin exactly as listed above. If you want to understand where a piece like this sits in the wider market, our guide on the difference between Persian rugs and the broader Oriental rug category is worth 5 minutes of reading.

Design and Motifs

The field is an all over floral composition built on curving arabesque vines that sweep from the base of the rug and split into large serrated leaves, feathered palmettes and open lotus blossoms. A small scalloped center medallion in green anchors the middle, with an 8 lobed rosette core in pink, gold and blue, and it is balanced by 2 paler ivory and gold rosettes set to either side. The drawing is fully symmetrical along both axes: the great curling leaves in the lower field mirror those at the top, and the vine stems rise from a small fan-shaped base motif at the center of each end. The main border runs a wine-red ground with alternating turned palmettes, blue and green pinwheel rosettes and a crowned central cartouche, separated from the field by a narrow olive guard band of cream flowerheads. Outside it, a second olive guard stripe of shield-shaped leaf forms and a fine teal vine stripe close the composition before the plain navy outer edge.

A Dark Blue Field Lit by Salmon, Gold and Green

The field is a deep midnight blue, close to black where the pile lies away from the light and clearly navy where it lies toward it, which gives the rug two distinct moods depending on where you stand. Against that ground the palette is unusually soft for such a dark rug: warm gold and honey through the vines and palmettes, generous salmon pink and rose through the feathered leaves, cream and ivory highlights in the larger blossoms, and cool sage and teal green through the smaller flowerheads. The center medallion is a true emerald green with pink and crimson petals inside it, and the same green reappears in the border rosettes, tying the 2 halves of the design together. The main border reads burgundy to wine red, deeper and more saturated than the accents in the field, and the olive-gold guard bands act as a warm bridge between the red border and the blue ground. Small notes of dark navy, black and clear light blue punctuate the flower centers throughout.

Woven in Jaipur, India

Jaipur and the surrounding workshops of Rajasthan are where a great deal of the world's best contemporary hand-knotted weaving is now produced, and this rug is a clear example of why. The classical floral vocabulary here goes back to the Mughal court carpets of the 17th century, but the execution is current: good springy wool on a cotton foundation, clean symmetrical drawing that holds its line through every curve of the vine, and dye work steady enough that the vast blue field shows no harsh banding across nearly 15 feet of length. On a rug this size, the weave discipline matters more than on a small piece, because any drift in the drawing or the tension shows immediately. It does not here. The rug lies flat, the corners are square and the pile is full, which is exactly what you want from a large new Indian Oriental rug intended to live under furniture for decades.
