Gabbeh Pakistani Rug 171 × 242 cm, Wool, hand-woven

The piece in short

Hand-woven in Pakistan: a Gabbeh of 171 × 242 cm. That is roughly 4.14 m² of floor, about 5.6' × 7.9'.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-woven. Pile height is given as 5-7mm.

Format and use

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

Flatweave

Because it is woven rather than knotted, the structure is flat and usable on both sides.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as blue / Türkis. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
