Beautiful Wool And Silk Trendsetting Abstract Contemporary Rug, Rug Type / Country of Origin: India Circa Date: Modern / New – This carpet, woven in India, is made from fine Ghazni wool and silk. This classic combination of materials has allowed weavers to create fine carpets for centuries that are durable and remain beautiful for many years to come. This carpet is created using traditional techniques, but in a new way for a piece that has the qualities that people love and that will last for many decades. Ghazni wool and silk are soft and durable, which is why they are favorites for creating fine, high-quality pieces.
The artist used a combination of hand-knotted pile areas and plain weave to accentuate the texture of the modern carpet. This creates areas of high and low texture that creates a feeling of dimension and highlights the softness of the carpet. Silk reflects the light and will allow the carpet to catch the light differently throughout the day. This creates a dynamic piece that plays with the natural world in a way that will transform the room into a peaceful retreat.
