Kashmir Design Rugs:

Kashmir area rugs and carpets 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 Persian influence especially the Kerman floral and medallion styles. Locally inspired designs of paisleys, leaves and flowers are also used. These magnificent limited edition rugs are the epitome of luxury and quality which will add that exotic mystic to your décor.

Sultanabad Design Rugs:

Sultanabad rugs were exclusively made for the European market since mid 19th century. They often favoured bold floral designs with spacious patterned Rugs. All rugs and carpets from this period were exclusively made with pure natural dyes. Dark red, blue, soft green, gold, and ivory are the typical colors. Warps, foundation, and wefts are cotton. The pile is wool. The wool of the Sultanabad rugs is hand spun usually from the weaver's own sheep. The rugs are woven using asymmetrical Turkish knots to tie each loop one by one. Besides using wide and bold borders, Sultanabad rugs had designs are based on small repeating floral patterns as well as all-over large scale lattice vine patterns. Sultanabad rug designers simplified the designs by creating a special work of art with unique character. Foreign companies around the world from India and Pakistan adopted a similar system, causing Sultanabad carpets to become carpets of high decorative value, even today by both interior designers and the discriminating collector.
