10' x 14'3" Jaipur Oriental Rug | All-Over Rose and Leaf Floral | Hand-Knotted Wool, New

A new, never used hand-knotted piece from the workshops of Jaipur in northern India, woven in wool on a cotton foundation and drawn as one continuous rose garden rather than a medallion layout. The field is a warm ivory, and the whole surface is filled with open roses, tight buds and broad serrated leaves that carry right to the olive green border. At 10' x 14'3" it is a true room-size floor covering, the sort of piece that sits under a full seating group or a 10 seat dining table, and it belongs with the larger 10 x 14 rugs buyers shop when the room, not the furniture, sets the scale. As a modern hand-knotted Oriental rug it ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming the hand-knotted construction, wool pile and Indian origin.

Design and Motifs

There is no medallion and no empty ground here. The drawing is a true all-over floral composition: full-face cabbage roses shown from above, half-open buds on short stems, and large veined leaves that overlap each other so the ivory ground reads as gaps in foliage rather than as background. The roses alternate in scale, larger blooms anchoring the centers of each repeat and small pointed buds filling between them, which keeps the eye moving instead of settling on one axis. The main border carries its own garden, with upright rose sprays and fan-shaped palmettes set between curling leaves, framed inside and out by a narrow guard stripe of scrolling vine outlined in rust. A plain ivory outer band and natural cotton fringe close the ends. The field pattern runs to all 4 sides without a hard stop, so the rug reads the same from either end of a long room.

Ivory, Olive Green, Rose and Rust Coloring

The field is a warm ivory that leans toward sand and light gold rather than a cold white, which is what lets the flowers sit softly instead of shouting. The blooms are worked in three related families: deep rose and brick reds with dusty pink centers, warm rust and terracotta, and a honeyed gold-tan that shows the wool's natural luster in the close-up photographs. Leaves move through sage, olive and a muted blue-green teal, with darker forest tones used to shade the undersides so each leaf has depth. The main border is a soft olive green, warmer and lighter than the leaf greens in the field, and it is edged with a thin rust outline that separates it cleanly from the ivory. The overall palette is faded and mellow in feel rather than bright, and the abrash-like shifts across the larger green areas add movement. Fringe and outer guard are natural undyed ivory.

Jaipur Weaving and Quality

Jaipur, in Rajasthan, is one of the main centers for hand-knotted work in India today, and India is where most of the world's best contemporary hand-knotted rugs are now produced. That is said with confidence, not as a hedge: the looms there handle fine floral drawing, controlled dye lots and large formats that many workshops cannot attempt. This piece shows it in the curve of the rose petals and in the way the leaf outlines stay crisp at full scale. The back photograph shows an even, tight knot bed on a cotton foundation with straight, regular rows and no pulling at the selvedges, and the pile is a full-bodied wool with enough height to give the flowers dimension underfoot. It is brand new, never used, with no wear, no repairs and no color run, and a rug of this weight and density will take decades of traffic in a main living space.
