My White House Runner

THIS RUG HAS BEEN SOLD.
This carpet is a bit different from all my others.  This is a hand stitched rug and the White House is home to a much larger version of the same carpet by the weaver.  So says my favorite rug seller, Sheikh in Muscat, Oman! He is in the Sabco Center and his shop is The Jewel Box. If you visit him, tell him Debi said Hello! 

It is made of pure Cashmere wool, is 2.5'x8' and was made in Kashmir.  It has a more formal and elegant look to it than my hand knotted rugs. It will look great in the hall of whatever house I buy next week!!

My Favorite Carpet

I fell in love with this carpet for a number of reasons.  The colors are beautiful and each section of the design is an actual design of a carpet.  It's called a Bakhtiyari and is from the Kashmir region.  For the price of one, I got lots images of carpets! It's silk on silk, meaning the knots are silk, knotted on a base of silk.  I bought this one in Muscat, Oman where many of my carpets come from.  It's from the Kashmir region and is 4'x6' and could very well end up hanging on a wall in my new home.
