Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Persian Rug, 156 × 105 cm, Wool

Overview

This Gabbeh comes from Iran and measures 156 × 105 cm. The covered area is about 1.64 m² (5.1' × 3.4'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Where it fits

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. In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

How it reads

It is catalogued under multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
