Kashmir Pink Rug 4'1" x 6'0"

Kashmir area rugs are renowned for their finely executed artistry. Kashmir rugs date back to the 15th century where silk was the basic material used for both pile and foundation. Today Kashmir carpets are woven of pure wool and in some cases silk or art silk highlights are used. The designs used have a strong oriental influence especially floral and medallion styles. Locally inspired designs of paisleys, leaves and flowers are also used.
