Gabbeh Loribaft Indian Rug 299 × 200 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Gabbeh Loribaft comes from India and measures 299 × 200 cm. The covered area is about 5.98 m² (9.8' × 6.6'). 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. 16 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.

Colour and appearance
