Hand-knotted Oriental Rug in Silk, 365 × 98 cm

Roughly 2 million knots tied by hand into 3.58 m² — a rug from India, 365 × 98 cm. The stated density is 500,000-599,999 knots/sqm — a medium-fine weave that wears well underfoot. Pile 100% silk,, warp 100% cotton. Silk carries dye deeper than wool: the colours sit darker in shadow and brighter into the light. The proportion (3.72:1) is a runner’s. It suits a hallway or the length of a kitchen, not the middle of a room. Proportion 3.72:1. One of a kind: hand-knotted rugs are not made in editions, so this exact piece exists once.
