Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 82 × 123 cm, Wool

Overview

This Samarkand comes from Pakistan and measures 82 × 123 cm. It covers approximately 1.01 m², or 2.7' × 4'.

What it is made of

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

Format and use

At this size it works as an entryway mat or a bedside rug.

Knot density and quality

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.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
