Hand-Knotted Wool Gabbeh Persian Rug, 154 × 111 cm

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 154 × 111 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.71 m² (5.1' × 3.6'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Size and placement

A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Fineness of the knotting

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

How it reads

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