About this rug

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 246 × 302 cm. It covers approximately 7.43 m², or 8.1' × 9.9'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

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

Colour and appearance

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