Samarkand Pakistani Rug 105 × 157 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 105 × 157 cm. That is roughly 1.65 m² of floor, about 3.4' × 5.2'.

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.

Fineness of the knotting

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.

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.
