The diamond lattice base supports the naturalistic floral forms, while sweeping golden acanthus scrolls rise around the medallion in dimensional chainstitch, their warmth contrasting the cool blue field. The ivory border continues the decorative vocabulary with gold scrolls, cornucopia motifs, and scattered florals, completed by a Greek key inner guard for precise geometric balance. Hand-woven in wool on a cotton foundation, this rug demonstrates technical skill, visual drama, and Rococo elegance.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 6x9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Woven Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aqua, Blue, Ivory, Gold, Red, Green, Multi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 0.2 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\r\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: AOR20464\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Chainstitch rugs are a unique form of embroidered textile most closely linked to the Kashmir region of India. Unlike traditional woven or knotted rugs, these are created by stitching continuous loops of wool thread onto a base fabric commonly cotton or jute using a hooked needle, forming a series of interlocking chains across the surface. This technique allows for exceptional flexibility in design, enabling artisans to render flowing curves, intricate floral patterns, and even detailed pictorial imagery with a precision that weaving alone cannot achieve. The resulting surface is smooth, richly textured, and densely embroidered, giving chainstitch rugs a distinctive tactile and visual character that sets them apart in the world of decorative floor coverings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American Oriental Rug","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47912905048284,"sku":"AOR20464","price":349.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/1996\/6684\/files\/A20464.jpg?v=1773132073","url":"https:\/\/americanorientalrug.com\/products\/aqua-handwoven-chainstitch-aor20464","provider":"americanorientalrug","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
