AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: 100% wool
Warp & weft: 100% cotton
Quality: Hand-knotted
Knot density: 350,000 per m2
Pile height: 8 mm
Origin: Pakistan
Our Samarkand carpets derive their name from a traditional trading center in the Orient—the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan. Samarkand carpets were produced in the late 19th century by the renowned Swiss trading family Ziegler. Due to the political unrest of the Persian Empire and the strong demand from the West for carpets, Ziegler decided to establish its own production in Sultanabad, Pakistan, and to hire some of the best carpet weavers to meet this growing demand. Samarkand carpets are hand-knotted in the finest craftsmanship with approximately 350,000 knots per m2 and promise very high quality.
Today, Samarkand carpets stand for exceptional quality and modern, oriental-inspired patterns. The carpets draw inspiration from classic Persian carpet design. The wool used is of high quality, and the color palette consisting of natural plant-based dyes is softer and more subtle than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes the carpet easy to keep clean.
