Kashmir Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 173 × 243 cm, Silk

The piece in short

Origin India, format 173 × 243 cm — a Kashmir made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.2 m² of floor, about 5.7' × 8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, silk. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5mm.

Format and use

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

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.

On the colourway

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