15'9" x 23'9" Oversize Jaipur Rug | Burgundy All Over Floral | Fine Indian Wool, Perfect Condition

This is a true palace piece: 15'9" x 23'9" of hand-knotted wool on a cotton foundation, woven in Jaipur and large enough to carry a ballroom, a double-height great room or a long formal dining space without a seam or a break in the drawing. The pile is dense and evenly clipped, the sides are straight, and the fringes are the hand-tied ends of the warps rather than anything added afterward. It has never been used and remains in perfect condition, with the deep color and full handle of a rug that has come straight from the loom to the floor. Pieces of this footprint are scarce, which is why it sits in our oversize Oriental rugs group rather than any standard size run, and every rug we sell ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming its origin, materials and hand-knotted construction.

Design and Motifs

The field carries a full all over floral composition in the Mughal court manner, with no central medallion to interrupt it. Broad serrated leaves sweep across the ground in mirrored pairs, joined by thin vines that link large fan shaped palmettes, 8 petal rosettes and small budding blossoms. The drawing is symmetrical on both axes but never mechanical: leaf tips curl in different directions, and the palmettes alternate between solid gold, gold with green shading and gold with a small burgundy heart, as the close-up photograph of a single palmette shows. The main border is unusually generous, a wide black band filled with large winged palmettes and paired leaf forms that face one another across a running vine. Inside and outside it sit narrow red guard stripes carrying a reciprocal scrolling meander in pale gold, and a final plain outer guard settles the whole design before the fringe. On a rug this long, that deep border does real work, holding the eye at the perimeter so the field reads as one continuous garden rather than a repeat.

A Deep Red Field with Black, Gold and Green

The ground is a saturated red that deepens toward burgundy where the pile leans away from the light, and it stays consistent from end to end across nearly 24 feet, which is the mark of well managed dye lots on a loom this wide. Against it, the floral work is drawn in a soft antique gold that shifts toward cream and pale honey on the leaf tips, giving the vines a lit quality without any silk in the pile. Dark green appears in measured doses inside certain palmettes and leaf cups, cooling the red and keeping the gold from turning brassy. The main border is a black so deep it reads near navy in the close-ups, and it is the anchor of the whole color scheme: it makes the gold palmettes look almost carved, and it gives the red field a hard edge to push against. Small touches of burgundy outlining and fine black detail lines inside the blossoms complete the palette, which suits warm wood floors, dark paneling and heavy furniture particularly well.

Woven in Jaipur, India

Jaipur, in Rajasthan, is one of the great hand-knotting centers still working at scale today, and India is where most of the world's best contemporary hand-knotted rugs are now made. That is said with confidence, not as a consolation: the looms there are wide enough to take a 15'9" width in one piece, the workshops still draw from Mughal and Agra cartoons of the 17th century, and the wool is spun with enough lanolin to keep a pile like this lustrous for decades. If you are weighing this against a city piece from Persia, the Oriental rug comparison guide sets out what actually separates the two traditions. The folded corner photograph tells the story of the weave here: rows of knots sitting tight and regular on the cotton warps, the pattern legible from the reverse, and selvages bound firmly enough to take the weight and traffic that a room this size will put on it.
