Kashmiri Naqsha 3’6’’ X 5’6’’

A refined rug featuring the Kashmiri Naqsha pattern—floral geometry inspired by Kashmir's weaving heritage and artisan craftsmanship in a versatile scale.

Craftsmanship & Provenance
Hand-knotted by Afghan artisans trained in traditional weaving techniques, this 3'6" × 5'6" piece reflects the disciplined geometry and refined palette characteristic of Kashmiri-inspired design. The Kashmiri Naqsha pattern—with its repeating floral motifs and balanced composition—requires exceptional technical skill and pattern memory. Woven on a vertical loom with meticulous attention to motif clarity and color distribution, each knot contributes to a surface of remarkable density and visual clarity.

Materials & Construction
Crafted from hand-spun Ghazni wool colored with natural vegetable dyes, the rug features a sophisticated palette of traditional colors—ruby, sapphire, ivory, and terracotta—arranged in rhythmic floral bands. Ghazni wool—celebrated for its superior softness, fiber length, and ability to hold vibrant dyes—creates dense pile construction with exceptional tactile depth. The fine knotting ensures crisp motif definition essential to Kashmiri-inspired aesthetics, while the wool's natural luster enhances the intricate pattern work.

Design & Aesthetic
Traditional Kashmiri Naqsha motifs—repeating floral patterns—create visual richness across the field while maintaining compositional balance. The 3'6" × 5'6" scale (approximately 19 square feet) makes this piece ideal for entryways, beneath coffee tables, or as a layering element in larger rooms. Works beautifully with neutral furnishings, natural wood, and gallery-like spaces.

Dimensions & Care
Measures 3'6" × 5'6". Suitable for high-traffic areas; the dense Ghazni wool construction ensures longevity. Professional cleaning recommended.

One-of-a-kind.
