Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 207 × 293 cm, Wool

The piece in short

A Samarkand from Pakistan, measuring 207 × 293 cm. The covered area is about 6.07 m² (6.8' × 9.6').

Construction

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

Where it fits

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

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.

How it reads

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.
