Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 172 × 230 cm, Wool

About this rug

Origin Pakistan, format 172 × 230 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. That is roughly 3.96 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 7.5'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

On the colourway

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