Hand-Knotted Wool Samarkand Pakistani Rug, 169 × 238 cm

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 169 × 238 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 4.02 m², or 5.5' × 7.8'.

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.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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