Pure silk coffee table handmade carpet from Kashmir with over 700,000 knots per square metre!
As Oscar Wilde once said ‘A work of art is the unique result of a unique temperament‘, we believe the great Irish poet and playwright might well have had this curiously, contemporary looking pure silk carpet, Blue Sapphire Senha in mind!
It’s a strange connection between this Senha rug and the swashbuckling novelist…at the heart of this relation is the classic Paisley motif…also known as boteh in the Persian language which loosely means bush or a leaf and symbolizes the divine motif of the Cypress Tree that represents harmony and eternity.
Paisley, of course, was named after the English town of Paisley in Scotland, a renowned center for textiles during it’s heydays. Wilde often used to adorn a jacket and cravat that was embellished with Paisley motifs and is said to be one of the favorite textile patterns of the flamboyant Wilde!
The Paisley since then has made an appearance on shawls, vases, bandanas, guitars, bikes, and even on John Lennon’s Rolls Royce!
This rug is no less a pièce de résistance in today’s time…the irresistible charisma reminiscent of the heady connotation of the Imperial West and Exotic East all culminating in the regalia called the Paisley!
Senha rugs are ceremonial artworks that have charmed art connoisseurs since the 15th century and remain much-sought after even in this day and age. This poetic rug is our tribute to the master Oscar Wilde whose following quote defines our approach towards our love for carpets: ‘Art never expresses anything but itself’.
