The Orissa Collection by Couristan offer a number of area rugs such as this one and the Black Couristan Royal Imperial Rug, hand-knotted from 100% semi-worsted New Zealand wool.This makes them both extremely comfortable and very durabile. The antique, 17th centuy Persian designs have been modernised with carefully selected colors to reflect current times. This joining of past and present means the collection can be easily adapted to fit any traditional room-setting and lifestyle at home. The Orissa rugs have a particularly luxurious dense pile due to the exemplary level of craftsmanship. Also the use of a unique luster wash process adds extra sheen. Orissa area rugs are available in large and medium sizes - 10 by 13, 5 by and 3 by 5.
