Our Samarkand carpets take their name from a traditional trading place 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 demand for carpets from the West, Ziegler decided to set up his own production in Sultanabad, Pakistan and hire some of the best carpet weavers to meet this growing demand. Samarkand carpets are hand-knotted with approx. 350.000 knots per m2 and promise very high quality. 

Today, Samarkand carpets stand for exceptional qualities and modern, oriental-inspired patterns. The rugs draw their inspiration from classic Persian rug design. The wool used is of high quality and the color palette consisting of natural vegetable dyes is softer and more subtle than that of Persian carpets. The shorter pile makes it easy to keep the carpet clean.
