Kazak Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 275 × 372 cm, Wool

About this rug

A Kazak from Pakistan, measuring 275 × 372 cm. That is roughly 10.23 m² of floor, about 9' × 12.2'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

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

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

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