Its too much work now to navigate and even try and read posts.

Nothing much else happening either ways.

Will probably get active again when Indian or Iranian fireworks start again.

Or some new interesting meaty conflict.

It’s fine for me, what is too much for u?

It's all in the weave, I'm told... how many knots you can cram into a small square inch... or something of the sort. Man hours and expert craftsmen too, at least of the Kashmiri ones. Some are indeed exorbitantly priced. Persian ones may be a notch or 2 above them.

Typical Persian Bakhshaish motif........very sought after.......

but ye toh antique ki baat hai, add a dollop or 2 more of paisey increase for just that.

and there are grades to it, intricacy of weaving, knots per sq inch + that its all done by hand or old ancient hand cranked "machines", or something.

Ok, I asked gooble.. Persiands win on Knots/SqIn

Persian and Kashmiri carpets are both known for their intricate designs and craftsmanship, but they have distinct characteristics. Persian carpets are renowned for their high knot density (knots per square inch), often exceeding 256 kpsi and potentially reaching 6,400 kpsi for the finest weaves, and their use of various animal hairs like camel, goat, and sheep, with silk historically used for the most exquisite pieces. Kashmiri carpets, while initially influenced by Persian designs, have developed their own unique style, often featuring silk or a combination of silk and wool. They are known for incorporating indigenous patterns and natural elements, creating a distinct aesthetic.
