Gabbeh Persian Rug 155 × 110 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

Overview

Origin Iran, format 155 × 110 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.71 m² (5.1' × 3.6'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Format and use

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

Colour and appearance

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