Pair of Modernist Chequerboard Design Rugs

About the Item

A rare and highly unusual pair of Modernist Indian rugs characterized by a chequerboard design background in red and rose onto which is laid an all-over repeat pattern composed of a bouquet of roses in different colours. The ivory and black chequerboard design border imparts a strong geometric identity to the composition. Both rugs are quite finely knotted with beautiful soft wool. The pair is nearly identical in size: one measures 293 x 200 cm (9 feet 6 inches x 6 feet 6 inches) and the other measures 303 x 200 cm (9 feet 9 inches x 6 feet 6 inches).
