AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: 100% wool
Weft & warp: 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 place 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 employ some of the best rug weavers to meet this growing demand.
Samarkand carpets are hand-knotted in the finest craftsmanship at about 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 based on natural plant dyes is softer and more subtle than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes the carpet easy to keep clean.
