Samarkand Pakistani Rug 82 × 130 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 82 × 130 cm. It covers approximately 1.07 m², or 2.7' × 4.3'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Size and placement

Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Fineness of the knotting

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 multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
