At a glance

Origin Pakistan, format 85 × 247 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.1 m² of floor, about 2.8' × 8.1'.

What it is made of

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

Size and placement

This size typically covers the floor in front of a seating group.

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

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
