Hand-Knotted Wool Samarkand Pakistani Rug, 265 × 360 cm

About this rug

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 265 × 360 cm. It covers approximately 9.54 m², or 8.7' × 11.8'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

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