Design Story
This exquisite silk carpet, named Royal Kashan Kashmir, channels the opulent spirit and refined symmetry characteristic of Persian court carpets, woven with the artistry and finesse native to Kashmir’s renowned silk artisans. Drawing inspiration from the grand medallion format of the Kashan region—famed for its regal floral arabesques and balanced geometry—this piece translates noble heritage into a silk-on-silk canvas meticulously hand-knotted to create a jewel-like vibrancy and depth.
At the core of this masterpiece lies a rich garnet field, punctuated by a bold central medallion that fans out with layered floral motifs and arabesques, their sinuous vines tracing a rhythm of botanical elegance. Delicately scalloped edges in the medallion evoke scalloped arch motifs reminiscent of Persian architectural grace. The medallion is anchored symmetrically by onyx-dark corner spandrels whose intricate tendrils and palmettes cascade softly in contrast.
The glowing ivory guard borders frame the design with a refined procession of floral trellises and spirals, densely knotted to capture micro details that shimmer softly with the lustrous silk pile. This harmonious composition embodies a dialogue between Kashmir’s living tradition and Persia’s historic design language, celebrating grandeur with an intimate, tactile delicacy.
Hand-knotted at 484 knots per square inch (60 Raj), this carpet achieves extraordinary clarity and dimensionality as the silk threads catch the light in a subtle dance of shadow and sheen.
