Hand-Knotted Wool Samarkand Pakistani Rug, 149 × 213 cm

About this rug

Origin Pakistan, format 149 × 213 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.17 m² of floor, about 4.9' × 7'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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.
