Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 260 × 174 cm

A hand-knotted Kashmir rug from India, 260 × 174 cm. The Kashmir tradition took Persian drawing north into India and kept the floral density. 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 4.52 m² — bedside, before a fireplace, or under a small table. Proportion 1.49:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
