Pakistani Rug — hand-knotted, 121 × 187 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Pakistan, format 121 × 187 cm — a Oriental rug made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.26 m² of floor, about 4' × 6.1'.

Construction

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

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². Knotting at this density allows detailed drawing and soft transitions between colours.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is red and orange. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Age and condition

Stated condition: new.
