Traditional Persian Ivory Senneh Kashmir Silk Hand-Knotted Carpet

Kashmir weavers hand-knot this ivory silk carpet at 576 knots per square inch, working a semi-geometric Senneh layout from memory. They arrange small shrub motifs in a grid, with rust flowers, sage leaves and outlines. They repeat larger boteh in the border. There is something quietly absorbing about one motif sustained across the field. Nearby options include pale timber and celadon ceramics.
