Samarkand Pakistani Rug 306 × 386 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin Pakistan, format 306 × 386 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 11.81 m², or 10' × 12.7'.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

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. In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

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.
