Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 255 × 168 cm

A multicolor Kashmir rug from India, hand-knotted, 255 × 168 cm. Kashmir looms work in the Persian idiom but in northern India, generally in silk or a silk-like fibre. Pile 100% silk &, warp 100% cotton. A silk pile shifts tone as you move past it — the same field reads light from one side of the room and dark from the other. The cotton foundation holds it flat and dimensionally stable. A mid-size piece at 4.28 m² — bedside, before a fireplace, or under a small table. Proportion 1.52:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
