The maker
Bashir Ahmad Khan
38 years at the loom in Srinagar. We have bought from this workshop since 2011 and pay the price they set.
Everything Bashir has woven for usLook closer
Count the knots yourself
This piece is woven at 400 knots per square inch, which works out at roughly 3,013,206 knots in total — every one tied by hand by Bashir Ahmad Khan, over 13 months.
Magnify past 13× and the field stops being a picture and becomes what it actually is: rows of individual knots, each one a decision about colour made at a particular moment.
The same test works in the shop, on any carpet, with no equipment. We wrote up how to do it in the back of the rug tells you everything.
