An Indian Kashmir Rug hand knotted with silk fibres on a cotton warp and weft. This rug features a design of shrubs and flowers in grid compartments, also known as a garden design. The border features flowers and fronds repeating around each side of the rug. Pale beige and cream colours are used in the flower and frond patterns, contrasting against rich orange-brown tones and rich blue colours accenting these motifs.
Kashmir Silk Rugs are woven by hand in the North of India and are famous for intricate weaves and designs. These designs are based on designs from Iran, and their origins date back hundreds of years. This rug is a classic example, using fine silk to make up the pile. The weavers' skill and yarn quality ensure the rug is exceptionally soft to the touch but maintains good durability.
This Indian Kashmir Silk Rug sits well in classic spaces, adding luxurious softness to living rooms, bedrooms and studies.
