Wool Gabbeh Indian Rug 250 × 250 cm, hand-knotted

About this rug

Origin India, format 250 × 250 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. That is roughly 6.25 m² of floor, about 8.2' × 8.2'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Where it fits

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

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

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

Age

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