The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 249 × 355 cm — a Samarkand made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 8.84 m² (8.2' × 11.6').

Construction

Where it fits

At this size the rug defines the room rather than accenting it.

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
