Samarkand Pakistani Rug 248 × 301 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 248 × 301 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 7.46 m², or 8.1' × 9.9'.

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

On the knot count

Colour and appearance
