Overview

This Gabbeh comes from Iran and measures 269 × 185 cm. That is roughly 4.98 m² of floor, about 8.8' × 6.1'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 14 mm. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

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

Age

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
