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

The piece in short

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

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. The rug was hand-knotted throughout. Weight is given as ap. 16 kg.

Size and placement

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

Fineness of the knotting

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

On the colourway

It is catalogued under Weiß / beige. Depending on the light and the direction you look from, the surface reads lighter or darker — a property of every handmade rug.

Condition

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