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.

Pure silk

Pure silk is probably one of the most luxurious natural materials. Its combination of fineness and robustness is unbeaten among textile fibres. Even today, silk is an expression of high luxury. The caterpillar of the silk moth butterfly produces silk when building its cocoon. This natural silk is then elaborately extracted by hand and woven into fibres. Silk possesses an unmistakable shine that is noticeable from afar. Depending on the simplicity of the light, it varies into beautiful facets. At the same time, pure silk is extraordinarily soft, crease-resistant and heat-insulating.

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.
