Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 174 × 237 cm, Wool

Overview

A Samarkand from Pakistan, measuring 174 × 237 cm. The covered area is about 4.12 m² (5.7' × 7.8').

What it is made of

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

Format and use

A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

On the knot count

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

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.
