About the Item
78328 Vintage Indian Kashmir Rug, 13'09 x 22'06. Bathed in luminous opulence and woven with courtly grace, this fine hand-knotted silk vintage Kashmir rug is a marvel of Indian artistry—an embodiment of refinement, sensuality, and divine beauty. Created in the storied ateliers of Kashmir, where silk weaving flourished under royal patronage, this masterpiece bridges the worlds of art and devotion. Every precious knot reflects the hand of a master artisan trained in centuries of inherited skill, transforming pure silk into an ethereal garden of paradise. To walk upon it—or simply to behold it—is to experience a legacy of magnificence once reserved for emperors and connoisseurs of extraordinary taste.
At its heart blooms a grand medallion—a celestial mandala of floral abundance—radiating outward in perfect symmetry. Surrounding it, arabesque vines, lotus blossoms, and delicate rosettes entwine with aviary grace, where peacocks and songbirds appear to flutter through the foliage. This lyrical interplay of nature and geometry evokes the timeless Mughal gardens of Shalimar, where beauty, balance, and poetry converged. Each botanical flourish, each bird’s plume, is rendered with micro-fine precision, shimmering like jeweled embroidery upon the silk’s lustrous ground. It is a triumph of design and devotion—a living tableau of India’s spiritual and artistic soul.
The magnificent border, an opulent procession of floral vases and trailing vines, frames the central composition like a jeweled diadem. Its rinceaux scrolls and intricate guard bands speak to an aesthetic of cultivated luxury—ornate yet harmonious, grand yet disciplined. The palette—a symphony of rose, blush, jade, and onyx—captures both delicacy and drama. Under changing light, the silk pile glows with a rare iridescence, shifting in tone and texture like the petals of a living bloom. This optical richness, combined with the meticulous weave and sumptuous sheen, reveals the incomparable mastery that has made Kashmiri silk rugs objects of prestige for centuries.
To possess such an exquisite work of art is to possess not just an object of beauty, but an inheritance of elegance—a token of civilization’s highest craftsmanship. Whether displayed beneath a crystal chandelier or laid in a salon of modern minimalism, its presence commands quiet reverence. This one-of-a-kind masterpiece transcends time and trend, embodying what true luxury has always meant: art made eternal through human hands. This vintage silk Kashmir rug is more than a floor covering—it is a silk sonata, an heirloom of passion and power, woven for those who live surrounded by art and guided by grace.
