Samarkand Pakistani Rug 176 × 246 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

A Samarkand from Pakistan, measuring 176 × 246 cm. The covered area is about 4.33 m² (5.8' × 8.1').

Construction

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

Where it fits

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

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.
