At a glance

This Gabbeh comes from Pakistan and measures 200 × 253 cm. That is roughly 5.06 m² of floor, about 6.6' × 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 7-10mm.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 300,000–399,999 knots/m². At this density even small-scale motifs can be worked out cleanly.

How it reads

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.
