The quality of these beautiful natural silks from Kashmir is no longer to be demonstrated.
One can only admire the work of the medallion and the abundance of motifs, stylized field flowers, arabesques covering this carpet and its borders. The colors of great softness, mainly almond green, are composed of an almost wine red, pale yellow, pale blue and black creating contrasts while separating the patterns.
The thickness of this carpet is 5 mm, which makes it a flexible piece but whose ground resistance is stiffened by the density of the knots.
## The moiré effect is not due to stains but to the shine of the silk under the photo.
This rug in natural silk on fine cotton, hand-knotted around 1970 is in very good condition.
A slight wear gives it a beautiful patina that enthusiasts appreciate.
The region of Srinagar in Kashmir is where these wonders are produced and where they were produced, silk on silk or silk on cotton.
Srinagar, the Venice of India, its carpets decorated with gardens, such as the Shalimar Gardens, its papier-mâché, and its colorful culture.
India and especially the Kashmir region is not a wool-producing country, hence the little use of this material.
The wool used in India comes almost mainly from imports.
The pieces from Kashmir are of irreproachable quality, knotted with first-rate materials as beautiful as in Iran and making them for many decades, an important competition.
This rug has been professionally cleaned and environmentally friendly.
