Hand-Knotted Wool Gabbeh Persian Rug, 393 × 548 cm

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in Iran: a Gabbeh of 393 × 548 cm. The covered area is about 21.54 m² (12.9' × 18'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Stated material: new wool.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is under 200,000 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. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
