Hand-Knotted Wool Mamluk Pakistani Rug, 84 × 244 cm

The piece in short

A Mamluk from Pakistan, measuring 84 × 244 cm. It covers approximately 2.05 m², or 2.8' × 8'.

What it is made of

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

Where it fits

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.
