Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 207 × 143 cm

Hand-knotted from India: a Kashmir rug measuring 207 × 143 cm. Kashmir pieces are woven in northern India; the field is usually a close floral rather than an open ground. Around 1.6 million knots went into this piece (500,000-599,999 knots/sqm) — a knot count that balances detail against durability. Pile 100% silk, warp 100% cotton. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. The cotton foundation holds it flat and dimensionally stable. A mid-size piece at 2.96 m² — bedside, before a fireplace, or under a small table. Proportion 1.45:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
