Gabbeh Loribaft Indian Rug 198 × 142 cm, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin India, format 198 × 142 cm — a Gabbeh, Loribaft made entirely by hand. That is roughly 2.81 m² of floor, about 6.5' × 4.7'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a wool foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 8 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. The format suits the space in front of a sofa, a small dining table, or a study.

On the knot count

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 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.

Condition

Stated condition: Neu.
