An A4-sized piece costs $600. Approximately. These are the prices for silk carpets from the manufacturer, handmade.

But factory-made ones, not handmade, must also exist. In theory, they should cost less.

Some foreigners came into that shop too and said the man was the author of a book about carpets, and they looked at us reproachfully because we hadn’t read that book )))

Are the carpets sold in tourist places in Bukhara made of real silk or synthetic? Does anyone know?
And where is it better and cheaper to buy a silk carpet: in Bukhara or Samarkand?
Here in Bukhara, in tourist areas, they sell small silk carpets for $150–250. I know these carpets are not a cheap pleasure. The price surprised me — $150 isn’t expensive for such carpets. I understand they’re not handmade. But then they must not be silk, but synthetic? Or how is it? Can anyone clarify?
