This hand-knotted silk carpet made of cashmere reflects the skills of Indian carpet weavers. The fine natural silk is a fascinating highlight. Not only does it feel particularly soft to the touch, it also lets its colours shine in a wide variety of facets. Depending on the incidence of light, completely new details and colours are visible. You can look at a carpet like this for hours and forget about time - an experience you can't capture in a photo.


Indian Rug

Carpet weavers from the former Persia came to India centuries ago to practise their craft there. As a result, India now has a long-standing tradition of carpet weaving. The patterns and ornaments are often inspired by the well-known designs of Persian rugs. Many hand-knotted oriental rugs come from the north of the country. Kashmir silk rugs, for example, come from the Kashmir region, which borders Pakistan directly.

Pure Silk

Pure silk is among the most luxurious natural materials. Its combination of fineness and durability is unmatched among textile fibres. Even today, silk is a symbol of true luxury. The silkworm moth’s caterpillar produces silk when spinning its cocoon. This natural silk is then carefully harvested by hand and woven into fibres. Silk has a distinctive sheen that stands out from afar. It changes beautifully depending on the light, revealing stunning facets. At the same time, pure silk is exceptionally soft, crease-resistant and heat-insulating.

Hand-knotted

Traditionally hand-knotted rugs still represent the highest quality standard among all types of rug. Depending on the knotting technique, these rugs are extremely hard-wearing and can last for generations. The finer and denser a rug is knotted, the more detailed the ornaments and patterns that can be shown in the pile. At the same time, a very fine oriental rug requires significantly more manual work, as well as a higher level of experience and skill from the weaver. Knot density is therefore also a key factor in the value of hand-knotted rugs. However, quality is not directly linked to knot density. A more coarsely knotted rug can still be made to an excellent standard.

Care & Fair

Following our ethical principles, we at Nain Trading are declared supporters of the organization CARE & FAIR. The goal is joint action by carpet dealers worldwide to give children from carpet weaver families in India and Pakistan the foundation for socially protected growing up. This improves the situation for the whole family in the long term. A child-friendly childhood for a life worth living - that is the mission.
