Mamluk Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 132 × 186 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Mamluk of 132 × 186 cm. The covered area is about 2.46 m² (4.3' × 6.1').

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.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

Colour and appearance

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.
