Product description
Kashmiri carpets are mainly hand-knotted near Srinagar and other rural parts of Kashmir in the northernmost part of the Indian subcontinent. The rugs are available in a variety of sizes and are woven from pure wool, pure silk and sometimes a blend of both. The art of carpet weaving is not inherent to the region. It is believed to have been introduced almost 400 years ago by Indian Mughal rulers. Mughal emperors imported Persian weavers with the intention of producing luxury carpets for their palaces. Over time, the art of carpet making developed into a natural and complex part of Kashmiri culture. This is evident in the beautiful designs of Kashmiri rugs, which are typical of elements of culture and folklore. Today, these intricate works of art are highly sought after by connoisseurs around the world for their refined craftsmanship. The use of silk creates a high-quality, thin and lightweight rug that can also be hung on the wall. The exceptionally fine and intricate details are almost brought to life with a natural shimmering sheen when light hits the silk in the rug. Cashmere rugs can be found in a mesmerizing array of serene, jewel-like hues such as ivory, blue, red, emerald green and amethyst purple. Typical motifs include the famous garden motif with willows and cypresses, the beautiful tree of life motif and intricately decorated central medallion motifs. The precision of the work in cashmere rugs is impressive and the rugs offer good value for money compared to their Persian silk counterparts.
