Hand-Knotted Wool Samarkand Pakistani Rug, 82 × 135 cm

Overview

A Samarkand from Pakistan, measuring 82 × 135 cm. It covers approximately 1.11 m², or 2.7' × 4.4'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

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