Hand-knotted Kashmir Oriental Rug in Silk, 340 × 243 cm

Roughly 4.5 million knots tied by hand into 8.26 m² — a Kashmir rug from India, 340 × 243 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 knot count that balances detail against durability. 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. At 8.26 m² it takes a sofa and two chairs with the front legs on the rug. Proportion 1.4:1. Every rug here is a single piece — there is no second one in this size and colour.
