Pakistani carpet Silk wool 383x281cm

Pakistani carpets silk wool. The manufacture of carpets began in pakistan in the same way as in india. When the country separated from india, a large part of the carpet weavers emigrated to the pakistani side. Most of them found work in lahore and karachi at a time when carpet production was receiving government support in the form of importing quality yarns. Today, pakistani carpets are made with australian wool, which makes these carpets very similar to silk carpets. Their high knotting density gives these carpets great durability for a lower price than their persian counterparts. The use of silky wool used is very soft, shiny and gives a lightness to the carpets, so that they can also be hung on the wall. The details are so extraordinarily fine and elaborate, so sparkling in the light of day, that one would think they were alive. Among the typical designs of these carpets are garden motifs of willows, cypresses, beautiful trees of life, but also intricately decorated central medallions. Although the artisanal precision of these rugs is surprising, they prove to be a better quality/price investment than its persian silk equivalents. These carpets remain more fragile and less resistant than persian silk carpets. To suck delicately in the direction of his velvet. *video available on demand. Dimensions: 383x281 cm with fringes.
