10' x 13'8" Oriental Rug | Open Navy Blue Field, Gold Floral Border | Brand New, Made in India
This is a large piece built around a single idea: an uninterrupted navy blue field, hand-knotted in soft wool, with every bit of the drawing pushed out to a wide gold border. Nothing competes for attention in the center, which is exactly why a rug this size stays calm underneath a full seating group instead of fighting the furniture on top of it. It is brand new and never used, and it ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming it is 100% hand-knotted. At 120 inches by 164 inches it falls squarely into the 10x14 area rug range that most large living rooms and formal dining rooms need.
Please Note About the Photographs:
The faint lines and lighter streaks you see across the open navy field in several photos are fold marks and light shadows from rolled pallet storage. They are not wear, not fading and not damage. On a large plain field they simply show more than they would on a busy pattern. They relax once the rug is laid flat, and every rug is professionally steamed and pressed before it ships.
Design and Motifs
The field is completely open, with no medallion, no corner spandrels and no repeating all-over pattern, which is what makes this a genuinely modern and contemporary reading of a classic layout. All of the drawing lives in the gold main border, and it is drawn in the Chinese-inspired manner: a slender blue vine meanders the full length of the band, throwing off spade-shaped teal leaves, small 5 petal rose blossoms and larger coral peony heads. At each of the 4 corners the vine resolves into a squared key-fret bracket with small roundels, and stylized cloud scrolls in soft rose curl along the outer edge. A narrow navy outer band and a matching navy guard stripe on the inside hold the gold band in place, and a thin blue outline traces the border on both sides so the pattern stays crisp against the dark ground. Ivory cotton fringe finishes both ends.
A Study in Navy Blue and Gold
The field is a deep, saturated navy that sits close to midnight blue, and because the pile is soft and lustrous it shifts as you walk around it, reading almost black where the light falls away and a clear indigo where it catches. That movement is the whole point of an open field: there is no pattern to look at, so the wool itself does the work. Against it the border is a warm butter gold, softer and more antique in tone than a brassy yellow, with the vine and leaves worked in two blues, a bright mid teal for the leaf blades and a deeper ink blue for the stems and outlines. The flowers bring in rose pink and a dusty coral, with a few sage green leaf tips scattered through the scroll, and small ivory highlights outline the peony petals. Navy and gold is an easy palette to live with: it grounds a room without darkening it, and the gold pulls in brass, oak and cream upholstery.
Hand-Knotted in India
India is where most of the world's good contemporary hand-knotted weaving is now done, and this piece shows why. The back photo shows even, well-packed rows on a cotton foundation, with the border motifs reading just as clearly from the reverse as they do from the face, which is the honest test of a hand-knotted rug. The pile is a soft, high-quality wool with real body to it, clipped at a medium height so the field holds its sheen and the border motifs stand up in slight relief. Weaving a plain field at this scale is harder than it looks, since any unevenness in the yarn or the beating down would show immediately across 120 inches of open navy, and here the ground stays consistent corner to corner. If you are weighing the difference between this and a city-woven Persian piece, our guide on Persian rugs vs Oriental rugs explains exactly where the two traditions diverge.
