The origin of carpets in world history still remains unknown as the art object in consideration is subject to deterioration. Kashmir Carpet history dates back to the period of Hazrat Mir Syed Ali Hamdani, a Sufi mystic who came from Persia to enlighten the people of Kashmir and brought along via the silk route highly skilled artisans and a new trade to Kashmir. Kashmir saw the epitome of Carpet Weaving in the time of Zain-al-Abidin (Budshah) and the word spread all over the world. The skill of carpet weaving stays within the family generally passing down from father to son the inherent skills and techniques of art. Kashmiri Carpets are hand woven beauties of luxurious art detailing on the texture, material, technique and ornamental imagery and motifs used.
