About this rug

A Mamluk from Pakistan, measuring 251 × 305 cm. That is roughly 7.66 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 10'.

Materials and construction

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

Format and use

A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

On the knot count

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

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
