Kaschmir Srinagar

This finely hand knotted Kashmir Srinagar rug features a classic medallion design on a deep dark field framed by an elaborately ornamented light border. The extremely delicate drawing with floral vines palmettes and fine arabesques is typical of the Srinagar workshops and recalls the elegance of historic Persian court carpets. The dense pile is made from the finest silk and high quality wool which gives the rug a refined lustre and colours that subtly change depending on the light. The central medallion is clearly structured and appears like a luminous core within the dark field creating a calm and balanced overall impression despite the wealth of detail. This rug is an ideal statement piece for refined living rooms libraries or bedrooms combining timeless elegance with outstanding craftsmanship.
