What it is made of

Stated material: silk, Seidenkette.

Where it fits

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 900,000–999,999 knots/m². A knot count at this level belongs to the upper quality class of handmade rugs.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Silk takes light differently from wool, so the same area can look pale from one side and deep from the other.
