Samarkand Pakistani Rug 169 × 247 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

This Samarkand comes from Pakistan and measures 169 × 247 cm. That is roughly 4.17 m² of floor, about 5.5' × 8.1'.

Materials and construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Knot density and quality

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.

Colour and appearance

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
