Kashmir rugs are celebrated for their exceptional fineness of knotting and the lustrous quality of their silk pile. Woven in the foothills of the Himalayas, they draw on both Persian and Mughal design traditions, producing pieces of great refinement. This example's jewel-like palette and intricate medallion layout make it equally suited as a wall hanging or a decorative accent piece.
