Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 211 × 295 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 211 × 295 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.22 m² of floor, about 6.9' × 9.7'.

Materials and construction

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

Where it fits

At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

Colour and appearance

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.
