Kashmiri rugs reflect a weaving tradition that developed in India and present-day Pakistan under Mughal influence. Persian craftsmen played an important role in passing on the techniques and decorative styles associated with these rugs. Their designs often feature rich floral vines, elegant ornamental details and harmonious compositions. Kashmiri rugs are commonly made from wool, silk or a combination of both, giving them a refined appearance and a soft, luxurious character.
