Hand-Knotted Wool Gabbeh Indian Rug, 254 × 254 cm

About this rug

A Gabbeh from India, measuring 254 × 254 cm. That is roughly 6.45 m² of floor, about 8.3' × 8.3'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Stated material: cotton warp, new wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Pile height is given as approx. 10 mm. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

It is catalogued under 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 condition: new.
