Gilded Age Collection- A Masterful Fusion of Heritage, Craftsmanship, and Timeless Design
Jaipur Rugs, the globally celebrated leader in handcrafted luxury rugs, proudly announces an extraordinary partnership with esteemed designer Peter D’Ascoli. This collaboration has birthed the Gilded Age Collection—a breathtaking ensemble of 32 meticulously crafted rugs across seven distinctive categories, each inspired by the artistic legacies of Europe and India. A celebration of grandeur and artistry, this collection redefines artisanal luxury, seamlessly blending historical opulence with modern sophistication.
GILDED AGE: A TRIBUTE TO HERITAGE, REIMAGINED FOR THE FUTURE
This collection is an homage to the legendary Parisian collector Madeleine Castaing and the grandeur of the Hollywood Regency era. It evokes the romance of 19th-century Parisian flea markets, marrying chintz florals, bold paisleys, and neoclassical motifs with modern refinement. Every rug is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, capturing the essence of an era while embracing contemporary aesthetics.
THE COLLECTION
Belle Époque
A revival of 16th-century chintz florals, which found immense popularity in 19th-century Europe, this series brings forth large-scale tonal silhouettes set against bold backdrops. The result? Hand-knotted rugs that exude elegance and modern sophistication.
Eugénie
Named after Empress Eugénie, wife of Napoleon III, this collection mirrors the floral opulence of France’s Second Empire. The sculpted, high-definition patterns, achieved through the Gultarash carving technique, lend each piece depth, texture, and refinement.
Malmaison
An ode to Napoleon Bonaparte’s neoclassical retreat, Malmaison fuses Greco-Roman motifs with Napoleonic grandeur. Expect intricate garlands, bold Greek patterns, and exotic leopard-skin borders, redefining timeless opulence.
Marcellin
A tribute to Madeleine Castaing’s inimitable design legacy, Marcellin embodies her iconic palette—fiery reds, sky blues, and lush garden greens. Intricate paisley motifs framed by ornamental geometric borders make these rugs a bold statement of French avant-garde style.
Kashmir
A revival of India’s legendary Kashmiri paisley motifs, which captivated 18th-century Europe and shaped 19th-century French décor. These handwoven rugs echo the craftsmanship of Kashmiri shawls, featuring a vibrant spectrum of blues, reds, whites, and creams.
Ocelot & Leopard
Inspired by the allure of wildcat patterns in fashion and interiors, these handcrafted masterpieces offer a sustainable alternative to exotic furs. Effortlessly balancing boldness and neutrality, they anchor any space with classic-meets-contemporary appeal.
