Mamluk Pakistani Rug 129 × 182 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Mamluk of 129 × 182 cm. It covers approximately 2.35 m², or 4.2' × 6'.

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 format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

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