Silk on Silk carpet KTSLK-233, 180 x 290 cm, hand-knotted in pure silk in the traditional way in Kashmir. Its "GUMBAD" design is wonderful and unique, built from multiple motifs: a dome-like lattice of cells radiating from a central medallion, framed by wide borders and a navy outer edge, with cream fringes at both ends. This high-density, high-knotted single carpet has 576 knots per sq.inch and is pure silk throughout, foundation included. The piles sit at a 70 degree angle, so the colour shifts from a light to a dark shade from one side to the other. It is light weight and colour changeable, and weighs 11 kg. Hand wash or dry clean only with cold water, or vacuum it with beater bars. Catalogue code: KTSLK-233
