Samarkand Pakistani Rug 172 × 234 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

This Samarkand comes from Pakistan and measures 172 × 234 cm. That is roughly 4.02 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 7.7'.

Construction

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

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

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.
