Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Indian Rug, 198 × 152 cm

The piece in short

A Gabbeh from India, measuring 198 × 152 cm. The covered area is about 3.01 m² (6.5' × 5'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

The pile is Handgesponnene Wolle, on a warp of wool. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Format and use

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

Colour and appearance

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

Condition

Stated condition: Neu.
