Refined luxury from the Himalayas

Kashmir carpets are renowned for their fine weaving techniques and luxurious materials, often pure silk or a wool-and-silk blend. Although Kashmir does not lie geographically within Iran, its designs are strongly influenced by Persian patterns, frequently featuring flowers, paisley motifs and elegant boteh designs. Their subtle sheen and soft texture make them highly sought after among connoisseurs of fine rugs.

Maintenance advice

Because Kashmir carpets often consist of fine silk, care must be taken. Please note:

  1. Vacuum with low suction power and no rotating brush.
  2. Avoid humid areas and direct sunlight.
  3. Preferably have it professionally cleaned.

This is how a Kashmir carpet remains a source of refinement and comfort for years, with undiminished shine.
