Gabbeh Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 241 × 170 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in India: a Gabbeh of 241 × 170 cm. That is roughly 4.1 m² of floor, about 7.9' × 5.6'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 18 mm. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A size where sofa and armchairs can rest their front legs on the rug.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Period

Stated condition: new.
