Gabbeh Persian Rug 173 × 105 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Gabbeh comes from Iran and measures 173 × 105 cm. It covers approximately 1.82 m², or 5.7' × 3.4'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Construction method: hand-knotted. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

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

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
