Wool Gabbeh Indian Rug 240 × 170 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin India, format 240 × 170 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 4.08 m² (7.9' × 5.6'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. Construction method: hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 12 kg.

Size and placement

The rug is rectangular. Large enough to hold a full seating group.

Knot density and quality

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 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 age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. As a contemporary piece the pile is still even and largely unwalked.
