Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 196 × 130 cm

Roughly 1.4 million knots tied by hand into 2.55 m² — a Kashmir rug from India, 196 × 130 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 medium-fine weave that wears well underfoot. Pile 100% silk &, warp 100% cotton. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. At 196 × 130 cm it works as a defined island rather than wall-to-wall cover. Proportion 1.51:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
