Hand-Knotted Wool Mamluk Pakistani Rug, 155 × 200 cm

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 155 × 200 cm — a Mamluk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.1 m² (5.1' × 6.6').

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Size and placement

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
