Knotted by hand, knot by knot
A weaver reads the design off squared paper where one square is one knot. The square below is one square inch of this rug, drawn at its real density.

Shalimar Garden takes its name from the Mughal garden on the shore of Dal Lake. Rows of irises, tulips and flowering shrubs grow up the rug on a red ground, drawn as if seen from the side, with ivory flowers and green leaves. It is knotted entirely in silk at 289 knots per square inch, fine enough that each petal is shaded in two or three tones. Made in 2 × 3, 3 × 5 and 5 × 8 ft, it suits a bedroom, a study or a wall, where the upright plants read best.
Woven in Kashmir, where silk rugs of this fineness are knotted with a hooked knife on silk warps. The flowering-plant rows follow a seventeenth-century Mughal model, and the weaver keeps the original drawing pinned beside the talim to check the shading.

- Vacuum gently on low suction, never with a rotating brush.
- Keep it out of strong direct sun: silk fades faster than wool.
- Blot spills with a clean white cloth; call a specialist for anything more than water.
- Have it hand washed by a rug specialist every three to five years.

Every hand-knotted rug comes with a certificate of authenticity that records its design, size, materials, where it was woven and its knot count: 289 knots per square inch.
Hand-knotted rugs are made one at a time, so the size, the colour and the edges can differ slightly from the photographs. That is the mark of the hand, not a fault.
Crafted by the weavers of Kashmir
In Kashmir a carpet design is written as talim, a coded script of colours and knot counts that the head weaver calls out at the loom. The valley is known for silk and wool-and-silk rugs with very fine knotting, made mostly in homes around Srinagar through the long winters.
