This new handmade Pakistani Oriental rug features a striking dark black field with an elegant central medallion in ivory and beige, surrounded by flowing vines, large palmettes, and delicate floral sprays that extend into the corners. The pattern draws from traditional Persian motifs but uses a restrained, low-contrast approach with lighter outlines against the dark ground, creating depth and sophistication. Wide borders include repeating flower-and-vine garlands and fine guard stripes in matching tones, giving the rug a balanced, symmetrical layout that feels both classic and current.
Pakistani rugs are crafted in workshops using the Persian asymmetrical knot for fine detail and a dense, even pile. New pieces like this one start with rich, saturated colors that will soften slightly with time and use, developing a gentle patina. The transitional style combines ornate traditional elements with modern color choices and openness, making it adaptable to many interiors without feeling overly formal.
This generous rectangular size suits living rooms under seating arrangements, dining areas with an 8-10 person table, or larger bedrooms with good overhang on all sides. The wool construction delivers plush comfort, excellent durability for everyday traffic, and natural stain resistance with simple care like vacuuming and spot cleaning. New hand-knotted rugs in this quality provide strong value, combining craftsmanship, timeless design, and long-term wearability.
