Gabbeh Persian Rug — hand-knotted, 164 × 205 cm, Wool

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 164 × 205 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 3.36 m² (5.4' × 6.7'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Pile height is given as 10-12mm.

Where it fits

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

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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