Samarkand Pakistani Rug 84 × 289 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

A Samarkand from Pakistan, measuring 84 × 289 cm. That is roughly 2.43 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 9.5'.

Construction

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

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.

Colour and appearance

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
