This item is a hand-knotted Kashmiri Silk-on-Silk runner rug, measuring 3 feet by 12 feet.
Technical Traits
- High Knot Density: The reverse side shows an incredibly dense, clean grid layout. The intricate outlines of the floral motifs translate with perfect clarity to the back, a result achievable only with a very high KPSI (Knots Per Square Inch) count.
- Silk-on-Silk Foundation: The fine definition of the weave nodes, combined with the perfectly straight, even white silk fringe warps that emerge directly from the rug's structural foundation, confirms pure silk pile hand-knotted onto a pure silk base.
- The Isfahan Style Multi-Medallion Design: The long 12-foot field features an aligned column of four grand starburst medallions. They are densely surrounded by a traditional Shah Abbas field of swirling vine-scrolls, cloud bands, and lotus blossoms.
A 12-foot-long pure silk runner represents months of meticulous daily loom labor. Silk runners are highly prized by designers for instantly grounding gallery hallways or luxury entry spaces.
