AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: 100% wool
Weft & Warp: 100% cotton
Quality: hand-knotted
Knot density: 350,000 / m2
Pile height: 8 mm
Origin: Pakistan
Our Samarkand rugs derive their name from a traditional trading hub in the Orient — the city of Samarkand in Uzbekistan. Samarkand rugs were produced in the late 19th century by the renowned Swiss trading family Ziegler. Due to political unrest in the Persian Empire and strong westward demand for carpets, Ziegler decided to establish its own production in Sultanabad, Pakistan, hiring some of the finest rug weavers to meet this growing demand. Samarkand rugs are hand-knotted with about 350,000 knots / m2 and promise very high quality.
Today, Samarkand rugs 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 consisting of natural plant-based dyes is softer and more subtle than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes it easy to keep the rug clean.
