What is a Silk Rug?
Silk rugs represent the highest class of hand-knotted carpet artistry. Made from 100% pure natural silk—sometimes with silk warp and weft—they achieve unparalleled knot density. Stunning sheen, luminous color vibrancy, and a soft, smooth surface are their hallmarks. Originally found in Iran/Persia, Turkey, India, or China, silk rugs are sought after as collector pieces, luxury wall art, or stylish investments.
