This 6 x 9 Oriental Silk Rug showcases exceptional craftsmanship through a finely detailed floral medallion composition woven entirely from natural silk. The luminous ivory field is enriched with intricate botanical motifs, framed by a richly patterned border that highlights the rug’s precision and clarity. The silk pile creates a natural sheen that shifts beautifully under changing light, emphasizing the depth and refinement of the design.

Design and Motifs

The central medallion is formed from layered floral rosettes, palmettes, and scrolling vines, arranged with near-perfect symmetry. Surrounding the medallion, an allover garden-style layout fills the field with delicate blossoms, leaf forms, and interconnected tendrils. The design reflects classical oriental aesthetics, where balance and detail take precedence over negative space.

Border and Framing

A multi-tiered border frames the composition, featuring repeating floral cartouches set against a dark contrasting ground. Secondary guard borders with smaller vine motifs add visual rhythm while reinforcing the rug’s structure. The crisp definition of each motif highlights the precision achievable only through silk weaving.

Colors and Their Placement

The primary field is ivory, providing a luminous base that enhances the vibrancy of the surrounding colors. Accents of deep red, navy, turquoise, teal, soft pink, sage green, and muted gold appear throughout the medallion, spandrels, and border. Darker tones concentrate within the border and medallion framework, while lighter floral elements float gracefully across the field.

Materials and Craftsmanship

Woven entirely from natural silk, this rug offers an exceptionally fine weave with remarkable clarity and detail. The silk pile allows for sharp motif definition and a smooth, luxurious surface. The density of the weave contributes to both durability and visual refinement, making this piece suitable for formal interiors and curated living spaces.

Please note: The visible lines are temporary wrinkles caused by folding during storage and shipping. Once the rug is laid flat, these will naturally disappear as the living pure silk fibers relax and settle. The natural sheen seen in the images is a hallmark of genuine silk, which reflects light differently depending on angle and movement.
