I think it is a Pakistan and it is not silk but mercerised cotton. Hope you have not paid a lot of money for it, as they do not have much of a second hand value First Floor, unit 9 1 Chandos Road London NW10 6NF UK www.sharafiandco.com

This is a kashmiri silk rug. Sharif is right. This is not a cocoon silk. This is called mercerised cotton or flosh or artificial silk.
