Mamluk Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 150 × 194 cm, Wool

Overview

A Mamluk from Pakistan, measuring 150 × 194 cm. The covered area is about 2.91 m² (4.9' × 6.4').

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Where it fits

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

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

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.
