Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Persian Rug, 252 × 348 cm, Wool

About this rug

This Gabbeh comes from Iran and measures 252 × 348 cm. The covered area is about 8.77 m² (8.3' × 11.4'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

The pile is 100% new wool, on a warp of 100% new wool. Construction method: hand-knotted.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for large rooms, with space for an entire seating arrangement.

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

It is catalogued under red and orange. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.
