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 derive their name from a traditional trading post 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 Western demand for carpets, Ziegler decided to establish 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 about 350,000 knots / m2 and promise very high quality.
Today, Samarkand carpets stand for exceptional quality and contemporary, Oriental-inspired patterns. The rugs draw their 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 it easier to keep the rug clean.
