Handmade Kashmiri Carpets and Rugs

Hand-Knotted Kashmiri Rugs and Silk Carpets

Our Kashmiri carpets are hand-knotted, commonly using the Persian knot. The collection includes silk, silk-on-silk and wool carpets, with construction and material varying from one carpet to another.

When you shop a handmade Kashmiri rug, ask for the exact fibre, knot density, reverse, pile and dimensions of that individual piece rather than relying on a category label.

A Language of Pattern

Kashmiri carpet design can be architectural, botanical or narrative. Medallions establish a strong centre, while floral and all-over fields allow detail to move continuously across the carpet. Tree of Life, pictorial, hunting and prayer compositions each bring a different sense of direction and meaning.

Choosing a Carpet for the Room

Begin with the room rather than a standard size. Consider the usable floor area, furniture placement, door clearance and whether the carpet should anchor an entire arrangement or sit as a more focused accent.

The Kashmiri Carpet Size Guide offers practical guidance on common dimensions and room planning. Because handmade carpets do not always conform precisely to standard measurements, the dimensions of the individual carpet remain the final reference.

For those purchasing from a distance, Buy Kashmiri Carpets Online explains the private viewing and review process before a purchase is completed.

Provenance and Ownership

A Kashmiri carpet carries more than its visible design. Depending on the carpet, its accompanying provenance material may include The Kashmir Knot brand certificate, a government GI tag with associated QR verification, a purchase invoice, information about the carpet and its story, and Taleem connected with the carpet.

The documentation accompanying each carpet is outlined as part of the purchase process, creating a clearer record for its next chapter of ownership.

Requesting an International Carpet Quote

To make an overseas enquiry useful, send the carpet code, delivery country and postcode, preferred currency, room dimensions and intended placement. We can then review the exact piece, current availability, measured dimensions, material information and the appropriate quote route.

Before payment, ask for the written quote to state the carpet code, currency, packing and delivery arrangement, payment method, returns terms and any import taxes or destination charges that remain your responsibility.

What to Request Before You Decide

Ask for current daylight photographs of the full face and reverse, close views of pile, fringe and edges, dimensions in centimetres and feet, a video if silk sheen matters, and a list of the documents available for that exact carpet.
