Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Indian Rug, 250 × 250 cm, Wool

About this rug

A Gabbeh from India, measuring 250 × 250 cm. The covered area is about 6.25 m² (8.2' × 8.2'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Construction: wool in the pile over a cotton foundation. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. 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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

How it reads

It is catalogued under blue / Türkis. 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.
