Gabbeh Indian Rug — hand-knotted, 300 × 200 cm

The piece in short

A Gabbeh from India, measuring 300 × 200 cm. That is roughly 6 m² of floor, about 9.8' × 6.6'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 18 mm. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

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.

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Braun / Gelb. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
