Gabbeh Persian Rug 269 × 185 cm, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin Iran, format 269 × 185 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. That is roughly 4.98 m² of floor, about 8.8' × 6.1'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Pile material is given as Handgesponnene Wolle, warp as wool. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 18 kg.

Format and use

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

On the knot count

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

Colour is recorded as Weiß / beige. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.

Condition

Stated age: contemporary, 0–20 years old. Being recent, the pile shows little wear and holds its full height.
