Kashmir Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 128 × 189 cm, Wool & Silk

Overview

Origin India, format 128 × 189 cm — a Kashmir made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.42 m² of floor, about 4.2' × 6.2'.

Construction

On the knot count

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.

How it reads

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
