These rugs epitomise craftsmanship and quality. Cashmere silk rugs are made from exquisite silk, which is praised for its softness, lustre and durability. Cashmere silk is particularly fine and has a knotting density of 450,000 to 500,000 knots per square metre. Experienced craftsmen often produce these carpets in elaborate handwork.
Cashmere-silk rugs can feature a variety of designs and patterns, including traditional Indian motifs, floral patterns, geometric shapes and ornate borders. The colour palette ranges from bold and vibrant colours to soft and subtle tones. As works of art from India, silk carpets reflect the beauty and culture of the region. They represent an investment of lasting value and are often passed on as heirlooms.
