About the Item

Pure Kashmir silk vintage room size pictorial piece; ""The Royal Hunt"" Terracotta, Indigo, Sage Green Size: 9.1 x 12.7 Age: Vintage; c.1950 Pile: Silky smooth (literally) with a fantastic glossy glow that illuminates when the light touches it. Even pile throughout with some minor traffic wear but nothing crazy. Some subtle light spots from perhaps wear or traffic, but there is no really worn areas like distress or patina that go near the foundation as this piece is a nearly full pile and in exceptional condition given its age! For any silk rugs, I would always gently recommend that they be placed in lower traffic areas given that silk is not like wool - and in return, silk offers the eyes and touch something that wool simply cannot - but they are two different fibers and remember to be mindful as context is always important. Will it be ok if you place this piece in a medium-traffic room? Yes, probably you will be fine - but if you can place this in a gently used or lower traffic space that would ensure that this piece lasts another 100 years! These pieces are all durable because they are genuinely hand-knotted which is the strongest construction of rugs, but I always try and caution on the side of being safe - if you have any questions at all don't hesitate to reach out. I don't want you to think this piece is fragile, because it is not fragile at all, but it silk is not as strong as wool so keep that in mind! This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one available. Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects. This rug is also available with a custom cut pad (sold separately).
