AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Pile: 100% wool
Weft & Warp: 100% cotton
Quality: Hand-knotted
Knot count: 350,000 per 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 turmoil 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 finest carpet weavers to meet this growing demand. Samarkand carpets are hand-knotted in exquisite craftsmanship with 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 the classic Persian rug design. The wool used is of high quality, and the color palette made from natural plant-based dyes is softer and subtler than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes the rug easier to keep clean.
