Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Indian Rug, 198 × 141 cm

Overview

Origin India, format 198 × 141 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 2.79 m² (6.5' × 4.6'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

The pile is wool, on a warp of wool. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Where it fits

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

Knot density and quality

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

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated condition: Neu.
