Samarkand Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 84 × 127 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Pakistan: a Samarkand of 84 × 127 cm. It covers approximately 1.07 m², or 2.8' × 4.2'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 7-10mm.

Where it fits

A small format, at home in a hallway, beside a bed, or in front of a bench.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

Colour and appearance

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.
