Mamluk Pakistani Rug 129 × 182 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Pakistan, format 129 × 182 cm — a Mamluk made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.35 m² (4.2' × 6').

Construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

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.
