Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 474 × 83 cm

Roughly 2.2 million knots tied by hand into 3.93 m² — a Kashmir rug from India, 474 × 83 cm. The Kashmir tradition took Persian drawing north into India and kept the floral density. The stated density is 500,000-599,999 knots/sqm — a knot count that balances detail against durability. Pile 100% silk, warp 100% cotton. Silk both in the pile and through the foundation, so the whole rug catches light rather than only the pattern. The cotton foundation holds it flat and dimensionally stable. At 83 cm wide it is a corridor piece. Proportion 5.71:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
