Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 274 × 183 cm

A hand-knotted Kashmir rug from India, 274 × 183 cm. Indian rather than Persian in origin, Kashmir weaving follows Persian layout closely. Around 2.8 million knots went into this piece (500,000-599,999 knots/sqm) — a knot count in the range that balances detail against durability. 100% silk & 100% cotton. Silk both in the pile and through the foundation, so the whole rug catches light rather than only the pattern. A mid-size piece at 5.01 m² — bedside, in front of a fireplace, or under a small table. Proportion 1.5:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
