Hand-knotted and designed by a skilled artisan from rural India, each element of the Kakero design carries a story. The vibrant flower motif is a tribute to the artist's cherished memory of a wedding gift--a flower pot given by a dear friend. Though they now live in different villages, the memory of that friendship lingers, beautifully woven into the rug. The wavy, hazy patterns, known as 'leheriya,' are inspired by the fluid movements of the weavers' hands when they are deeply in sync with the rhythm of their work. This design, reminiscent of the ocean's waves, mirrors the meditative state of the artisans as they weave, drawing on the traditional patterns of Rajasthan. Even the uneven textures and motifs, inspired by the rugged mountains, the texture of leopard skin, and the leaves that surround the artisans' villages, add character to this unique piece. The Kakero design isn't just a rug; it's a tapestry of stories and traditions, woven with care and dedication. About RugStudio Rug Studio is the e-commerce division of Oriental Rug Gallery, L.P., a fourth-generation family-owned company based in San Antonio, Texas. For nearly 100 years, our family has built a trusted reputation in rug manufacturing, importing, wholesaling, and retailing - always rooted in quality, value, and service. Our story began in 1930 with founder Kaloust Aijian, an Armenian Genocide survivor who fled his village of Hadjin and came to America by way of France, arriving through New York Harbor. With deep knowledge of fine rugs and a relentless work ethic, he built a respected business founded on craftsmanship, integrity, and personal service. Kaloust first operated a rug boutique inside D.H. Holmes in New Orleans before relocating in 1946 to San Antonio, where he established Oriental Rug Gallery inside Joske's downtown store - laying the foundation for decades of growth in Texas. Today, led by Kaloust's grandchildren and great-grandchildren, we continue that legacy online through Rug Studio, helping customers nationwide find the perfect rug - from handmade heirlooms and traditional Orientals to modern designs for today's interiors.
