The masterful weavers came to use the pile fiber just as painters use pigments, blending or juxtaposing different colors to create mottled or even shaded effects, as in the leaves of some of the large blossoms or the little hillocks and scudding cloud wisps in the border. The extremely fine weave (just over 1,000 knots per square inch) allows for sublime refinement in drawing and detail. Large fantastical blossoms are placed at the points where the vines meet, and smaller blossoms appear in the compartments as part of a secondary vine pattern. Here the field is divided into compartments, with a lattice formed by reciprocating serrated vines. The field pattern of these fragments represents a popular variation of the classic flower style, in which rows of flowers are presented in profile. Late in the century and throughout the next, the fussier millefleur style came into fashion, and floral elements became much finer in scale, sometimes clustered in repeating units.
The majority of seventeenth-century examples thus reflect variations of the flower style favored at court after 1630. The earliest surviving Indian example dates from about 1620 to 1625, around the time of Jahangir’s initial infatuation with the flowers of Kashmir (see MMA no. The idea for using pashmina for carpets, and not only for shawls, seems to have originated in Iran during the second half of the sixteenth century. Pashmina had a number of advantages over silk as a pile fiber: it was strong, it allowed for an unparalleled fineness of weave, and it absorbed and reflected color at least as well as sheep’s wool. Motif is also available as our Lattice cushion cover.Carpet Fragment with Pattern of Latice and Blossoms Among all traditional carpet-weaving societies, northern India during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was unique in using the fine underhair of a breed of domesticated goat (Capra hircus laniger) over silk as the preferred pile material for the highest grade of carpets.
