Design Story
This regal silk carpet, named Royal Mughal Heritage, pays homage to Kashmir’s illustrious tradition of silk weaving, deeply inspired by the architectural grandeur of Mughal India. The design evokes the timeless elegance of Mughal gardens and palaces, where intricate floral motifs and symmetrical geometry create a serene, harmonious sanctuary.
Set on a luminous ivory field, the carpet features a richly detailed medallion at its heart, composed of concentric floral rosettes and ornate tendrils that recall the delicate jali screens and carved stone patterns found throughout Mughal monuments. The medallion’s scalloped edges and the surrounding corner spandrels frame the composition with architectural precision, infusing the rug with a majestic spatial rhythm.
The outer borders are layered with floral vines, palmettes, and stylized blossoms in warm rust, cream, and walnut shades, drawing from the rich palette of Kashmiri embroidery and traditional Mughal art. Hand-knotted with 484 knots per square inch and crafted entirely in pure silk, this carpet radiates with a jewel-like shimmer and remarkable depth, epitomizing Kashmir's masterful interpretation of Mughal heritage.
This carpet celebrates the centuries-old dialogue between Kashmir’s artistic heritage and Mughal architecture—elevating historical motifs into contemporary luxury.
