Hand-Knotted Silk Rugs
When exploring hand-knotted silk rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. Hand-knotted carpets are the highest expression of the weaver's craft. Each knot is tied individually by hand on a vertical loom — there is no glue, no shortcut, no machine. A single 8x10 ft hand-knotted wool rug can contain over a million individual knots and take a skilled artisan 6-14 months to complete. The result is a heirloom-grade piece that gets richer with age and lasts generations.
Coupled with this, pure silk carpets represent the pinnacle of the weaver's art. Because silk fibres are so fine, our hand-knotted silk rugs can carry 400-900+ knots per square inch — an extraordinary level of detail that lets master artisans render intricate Mughal florals, calligraphic borders and Persian medallions with photo-like precision. The result is a piece that catches light differently from every angle, often described as a painting underfoot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if a rug is genuinely hand-knotted?
Flip it over — on a true hand-knotted rug the back of the design is as visible as the front, with slight irregularities in knot spacing. Hand-tufted rugs have a glued canvas backing. Machine-made rugs have perfectly uniform knots.
What does KPSI mean?
KPSI stands for Knots Per Square Inch — a measure of how fine the weave is. Higher KPSI means more detail, longer making time and higher price. Wool rugs typically range 80-250 KPSI; silk rugs can reach 400-900 KPSI.
How do I clean a pure silk rug?
Vacuum gently with the beater bar off, blot spills immediately with a clean white cloth (never rub), and have it professionally cleaned every 18-24 months by a specialist who handles fine silk rugs. Avoid steam cleaning and chemical solvents.
Why are silk rugs so expensive?
Silk thread is significantly more expensive than wool, and the high knot density (often 600+ KPSI) means a single 6x9 ft rug can take a skilled weaver 8-14 months. You're paying for material plus thousands of hours of human craftsmanship.
