Karastan Ashara Agra Ivory 549 - 15005 Area Rug 6 x 9

The gorgeous Karastan Ashara Agra Ivory Area Rug is a machine made weave of 100% new zealand wool. This engaging vine and blossom design features oversize palmettes and serrated leaves - typical of both Agra and Lahore carpets woven during the mid 17th century Mogul dynasty. Karastan's modern day interpretation is enhanced with a fresh color palette of coral reds with accents of marine blue, soft greens, and muted yellows on an antique ivory ground. These rugs are a masterful mix of timeless traditional designs and updated colorations with a fresh point of view. Backgrounds and pattern motifs contain multiple color shadings, creating a softened visual texture that results in a relaxed appeal appropriate for both traditional and casual decorating styles. Representing a standard of excellence in wool rugs, this collection has been crafted using dozens of individually skein dyed yarns for jewel tone clarity. The yarn is then woven through the back and finished with Karastan's Lustre-Wash process to re-create as closely as possible the look and feel of a hand-woven rug.

Karastan's Axmister weave incorporates a cotton foundation and wool pile with a woven through-the-back construction that closely duplicates the look and feel of a hand-knotted rug
