Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 172 × 249 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 172 × 249 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.28 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 8.2'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 12-15mm.

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

On the colourway

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