Hand-knotted in the Kashmir Valley of India, these oriental rugs are world-renowned for their exceptional workmanship and intricate floral designs. They are traditionally crafted from pure silk, wool, or silk-wool blends, featuring culturally significant motifs like the tree-of-life and the paisley. The rugs are defined by their vibrant, jewel-like color palette, which includes deep tones of sapphire, ruby, and emerald. Highly sought after by global connoisseurs, a Kashmir carpet is considered the "soul" of a home, symbolizing the region's long-standing traditions of hospitality.
