Lewan HeritageArt Gallery
Kashmiri and Persian handwoven art in the heart of Dubai. A curated house of hand knotted Kashmiri silk carpets, Persian masterpieces, gold and jeweled weaves, pashmina, and Islamic art collected over generations.
Our heritage
Woven in the valley, presented in Dubai
Every piece in our gallery begins in the workshops of Kashmir, where families have passed the loom from parent to child for more than a century. A single fine silk carpet can take two artisans over a year to complete, knot by knot, following a coded design chant known as the taleem.
We work directly with those weavers, then present their work in Jumeirah with the documentation, provenance, and care that a collector expects. Nothing is mass made, and nothing leaves without a certificate of authenticity.

Craftsmanship
From loom to gallery floor
Four stages separate raw silk from a finished heirloom. We follow every one of them.
01
Design and taleem
A master designer draws the naqsha, then translates it into the coded weaving script the loom family reads aloud.
02
Natural dyeing
Silk and wool are dyed in small batches with madder, indigo, walnut, and saffron for depth that ages gracefully.
03
Hand knotting
Two weavers work the loom for months, tying up to nine hundred knots per square inch by hand.
04
Washing and finishing
The carpet is clipped, washed in spring water, stretched, and inspected before it is certified and shipped.
