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 get their name from a traditional trading center in the Orient—the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan. Samarkand carpets were manufactured 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 his 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 with about 350,000 knots / m2 and promise very high quality.
Today, Samarkand carpets stand for exceptional quality and modern, Oriental-inspired patterns. The rugs draw inspiration from the classic Persian rug design. 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 it easier to keep the rug clean.
