This hand-knotted silk carpet made of cashmere reflects the skills of Indian carpet weavers. The fine natural silk is a fascinating highlight. Not only does it feel particularly soft to the touch, it also lets its colours shine in a wide variety of facets. Depending on the incidence of light, completely new details and colours are visible. You can look at a carpet like this for hours and forget about time - an experience you can't capture in a photo.


Indo rug

Rug knotters from the former Persia came to India centuries ago to pursue their craftsmanship there. So India today has a far-reaching tradition in rug knotting. The patterns and ornaments are often based on the well-known designs of Persian rugs. Many hand-knotted oriental rugs come from the north of the country. Kashmir silk rugs, for example, come from the Kashmir region, which borders directly on Pakistan.

Wool with pure silk

A combination of the probably best properties of sheep wool and pure silk. The natural wool is characterized by high durability, dirt-repellent properties and thermal insulation. At the same time, the silk content creates a unique shine that appears to glow from the right perspective. Ornaments made of silk thus set accents in the design, creating a real wow-effect. Even today, silk is an expression of pure luxury. It is elaborately obtained by hand and woven into textile fibres.

(92% Sheep wool, 8% Silk)

Knotted by hand

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still form the highest quality standard among all types of rugs. Depending on the type of knot, the rugs are extremely robust and can last for generations. The finer and tighter a rug is knotted, the more detailed ornaments and patterns can be depicted on the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires a much higher manual effort as well as a higher level of experience and skill of the knotter. Thus the knot density also serves as a decisive value factor of hand-knotted rugs. The quality is not directly related to the knot density. A rather coarse rug may well have been made in excellent quality.
