Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Indian Rug, 300 × 200 cm

Overview

Origin India, format 300 × 200 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. It covers approximately 6 m², or 9.8' × 6.6'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

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

Format and use

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

Knot density and quality

The stated knot density is 200,000–299,999 knots/m². This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

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

Age and condition

Stated condition: Neu.
