City Story
With a history reaching back to the 16th century, Indian rugs are a vibrant tapestry woven with artistry and cultural influence. Early designs drew inspiration from Persia and beyond, but Indian weavers soon forged their own path. The Mughal Empire ushered in a golden age of rug-making, with intricate floral motifs and rich red backgrounds becoming hallmarks. Unlike traditional Indian homes, wool wasn't always used, possibly reflecting nomadic influences. Documented records trace the trade of these exquisite rugs to European courts, where they continue to be admired in prestigious collections. From the use of lac dye to the distinctive placement of palmettes and the millefleurs design's explosion of color, Indian rugs possess a unique aesthetic. Though the decline of the Mughal Empire saw a shift towards commercial production, India's rich rug-weaving tradition remains alive, offering a captivating blend of heritage and innovation.
