Hand-Knotted Wool Gabbeh Persian Rug, 152 × 189 cm

Overview

A Gabbeh from Iran, measuring 152 × 189 cm. The covered area is about 2.87 m² (5' × 6.2'). 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 12-15mm.

Format and use

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

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