AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: 100 % wool
Warp & Weft: 100 % cotton
Quality: Hand-knotted
Knot count: 350,000 / m2
Pile height: 8 mm Origin: Pakistan
Our Samarkand carpets take their name from a traditional trading hub 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 turmoil of the Persian Empire and the strong demand from the West for carpets, Ziegler decided to set up its own production in Sultanabad, Pakistan, and hire some of the best rug 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 rug designs. The wool used is of high quality, and the color palette made from natural plant dyes is softer and more subtle than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes the rug easier to keep clean.
