Hand-Knotted Wool Samarkand Pakistani Rug, 87 × 116 cm

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 87 × 116 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.01 m² of floor, about 2.9' × 3.8'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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