Gabbeh Persian Rug 180 × 107 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

Origin Iran, format 180 × 107 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.93 m² (5.9' × 3.5'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

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