Hand-Knotted Wool Mamluk Pakistani Rug, 251 × 299 cm

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 251 × 299 cm — a Mamluk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 7.5 m² (8.2' × 9.8').

Construction

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

Format and use

The rug is square. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Knot density and quality

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

On the colourway

Colour is recorded as red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
