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 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 hire some of the best carpet weavers to meet this growing demand. Samarkand carpets are knotted in exquisite handwork at about 350,000 knots / m2 and promise very high quality.
Today, Samarkand carpets stand for exceptional quality and modern, Oriental-inspired patterns. The carpets draw their inspiration from classic Persian rug designs. The wool used is of high quality, and the color palette based on natural plant dyes is softer and subtler than that of Persian rugs. The shorter pile makes the rug easier to keep clean.
