Gabbeh Indian Rug 152 × 152 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Hand-knotted in India: a Gabbeh of 152 × 152 cm. That is roughly 2.31 m² of floor, about 5' × 5'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 5 kg.

Where it fits

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

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.

How it reads

The stated colourway is Braun / Gelb. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Age and condition

Stated condition: Neu.
