Vintage Black Persian Shan Abbasi Indian Carpet

About the Item

78678 Earth-Tone Vintage Indian Rug, 09'01 x 12'02. Indian rugs with Shah Abbasi designs are hand-knotted carpets featuring intricate floral motifs inspired by the Persian Shah Abbasi period, typically crafted in earth-tone colors and nature-inspired themes. These rugs are made in various regions renowned for their rug weaving traditions such as Jaipur, Varanasi, Agra, and Mirzapur in India. Skilled artisans in these areas employ traditional techniques to create high-quality rugs prized for their craftsmanship and intricate designs, making them sought-after pieces of home decor. In this hand-knotted wool vintage Indian rug, Biophilic Design seamlessly merges with earth-tone elegance and traditional sensibility. Against a backdrop of deep black canvas, the stage is set for the intricate allover Shah Abbasi pattern to shine. Adorned with palmettes, leafy tendrils, acanthus scrolls, curved sickle leaves, rosettes, and stylized florals and foliage, the Indian rug evokes the essence of a flourishing garden in Autumn, with its earthy hues mirroring the natural palette of the season. A focal point of this vintage Indian rug is its elaborate Shah Abbasi pattern, meticulously crafted to create a visually stunning composition. The motifs, inspired by nature, weave together seamlessly across the canvas, offering a sense of organic harmony and timeless beauty. Framing the central design is an elegant version of the Herati border, which adds a touch of refinement and sophistication to the overall aesthetic. This border is further enhanced by inner and outer botanical meander guard borders, completing the formal composition with a sense of balance and completeness. With its rich earth-tone colors, intricate design, and formal composition, this vintage Persian style rug not only serves as a luxurious floor covering but also as a piece of art that brings the beauty of nature into the home. Whether displayed in a traditional or contemporary setting, this rug exudes a sense of elegance and sophistication, making it a timeless addition to nearly any space. Abrash. Hand knotted wool.
