Silk carpets

They are outstanding examples of the refined artistry and craftsmanship reflected in silk rug making. Each of these rugs represents a unique cultural tradition and the skills of artisans who pass their knowledge down from generation to generation. They are not just floor coverings, but also works of art that reflect the history and heritage of their respective regions.
Silk carpets from Kashmir
Kashmiri silk rugs originate from the Kashmir region of northern India, famous for its rich textile tradition and use of the finest silk. These rugs are characterized by their exuberant elegance and are often decorated with detailed hand-painted motifs. The art of making Kashmiri silk rugs has been passed down through generations and requires patience and skill.
A distinctive feature of Kashmiri silk rugs is the use of natural dyes and the subtle color palette, which ranges from soft pastels to rich, saturated hues. The fine silk fibers give these rugs a silky sheen and a stunning texture that invites the touch.
Ghom silk carpets
Ghom, also known as Qom, is a city in Iran famous for its high-quality silk carpets. Ghom silk carpets are known for their fine knots and excellent craftsmanship. They are often designed with religious or floral motifs and are renowned for their high knot density and the use of silk in the patterns and embellishments.
The delicate quality of Ghom silk carpets extends to their noble dyes, obtained from natural sources, which give them a brilliant color. Ghom silk carpets are highly sought-after and often collected as works of art that embody the fusion of religion, art, and craftsmanship.
Hereke silk carpets
Hereke is a small town in Turkey famous for its carpet production, especially silk. Hereke silk carpets are known for their fine weave, precise designs, and luxurious texture. They are often decorated with elaborate oriental motifs and filigree details.
The manufacture of Hereke silk rugs requires a high degree of skill, as they often use very fine knots. The use of silk combined with wool gives these rugs a unique feel and luster. Hereke silk rugs are highly prized collector's items and are often considered symbols of elegance and luxury.
