Overview

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 83 × 298 cm. It covers approximately 2.47 m², or 2.7' × 9.8'.

Materials and construction

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

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

How it reads

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