The border of this Hussainabad rug adds to its charm and complexity. A deep blue border frames the central field, flanked with an inner diagonal striped guard border and an outer boteh guard border.

This border, with its intricate patterning and contrasting colors, serves to anchor the lively central field, creating a perfect balance between boldness and elegance.

What sets this rug apart is the use of color, which enhances the intricate designs and brings the patterns to life. The rug features a palette of deep pinks, blues, and earth tones, with accents of beige and green. These colors are carefully chosen to highlight the detailed geometric and floral motifs, while the overall warm and inviting tone makes this rug a perfect addition to any space. The harmony of color and pattern is a testament to the weaver’s deep understanding of traditional Persian design principles.
