The piece in short

Origin India, format 252 × 252 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 6.35 m², or 8.3' × 8.3'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 10 kg.

Format and use

The rug is round. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Fineness of the knotting

Colour and appearance
