Samarkand Pakistani Rug 305 × 415 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 305 × 415 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 12.66 m² (10' × 13.6').

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Format and use

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

Knot density and quality

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

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under multicolour. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
