The overall palette is muted and regal, featuring deep shades of charcoal, slate grey, midnight blue, and hints of antique gold threading that shimmer subtly under light.
The borders are adorned with a dense series of miniature paisleys and floral vines, forming an elegant frame that balances the bold central design. The lower edges are finished with tassel fringes, adding a touch of artisanal charm.
