Check out this adorable little antique scatter rug, hand-knotted around 1920 by a talented female weaver in the village of Bibikabad, that brings serious vintage soul in a delightfully compact footprint. Crafted from premium wool brimming with natural sheep’s lanolin, it boasts a delightfully soft touch, a full plush pile, and a healthy, luminous sheen.
The color story here is pure magic: a moody background right on the edge of rich carmine ruby and soft, dusty berry-pink. Rich vegetable dyes highlight the detailed artwork in a painterly mix of turmeric yellow, sky and navy blue, pistachio, army green, and cheerful pinks. At its heart sits a striking symmetrical floral motif, framed by a cozy, blossom-filled golden border.
While this particular piece has lost its original head and toes (the top and bottom end borders) over the last century, it now sports neatly secured, soft fringe ends that give it a warm, relaxed character. Style it atop a credenza, center it on a coffee table, accent a small floor space, or mount it as wall art - it’s an irresistible piece for any antique textile lover! SUPER SOFT TO THE TOUCH...you will love it.
Plus, if you're looking to build a matching set, this piece has two sister rugs woven in the same style and color palette - you can check them out here and here!
