Quality of 100% Pure Silk Carpets (Oriental rugs)

One of the most important and determining factors in the quality of carpets that also affects the durability, workmanship and also the price is considered to be the knots (or stitches) that are present in per square inch of any given carpet. The durability of the carpet increases manifold corresponding with the increase in the density of the knots per square inch in the carpet, as it is an established fact, that more the number of knots per square inch denotes more life for the carpet that in turn gives luster, shine and intricate design to the overall pattern or the motif of the carpet.

Silk carpets, in general, have varying number of knots per square inch and come in different types of qualities and designs. Our range of exclusive silk carpets has more than 484 knots per square inch going up to even 1200 per square inch (more than 400 knots per square inch is typically considered to be the beginning yardstick for the top end quality) and thus have a longer life and splendidly intricate designs and motif. Of course, besides the knots benchmark that is largely followed, the price of a given carpet may also be charged based on the intricacy of the design or the pattern, the uniqueness and the individualism of the motif, the perfection attained in color matching and occasionally for the brand name (royalty that is payable) lent by the artisan who has conceived the original motif of a particular carpet.

The fineness of the silk fibers when knotted displays exemplary characteristics that completely transforms the workmanship and attains the highest pinnacle of carpet weaving art. High knots coupled with a master artist, who, is almost always chosen upon the need for a high grade of quality, creates a masterpiece that is rich and splendid in every count, in terms of the delicate aura of the design, the finest possible intricacy in each motif, the perfection of the colors that juxtaposes in such a magical package of art that finally reflects the very soul of its creator.
