Kashmir Indian Rug 85 × 141 cm, Wool & Silk, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin India, format 85 × 141 cm — a Kashmir made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.2 m² (2.8' × 4.6').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool, silk. Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Where it fits

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 500,000–599,999 knots/m². Very fine knotting of this kind takes many times the working hours and shows correspondingly precise pattern work.

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
