Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 313 × 95 cm

Hand-knotted from India: a Kashmir rug measuring 313 × 95 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. 100% silk & 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. At 95 cm wide it is a corridor piece. Proportion 3.29:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
