Gabbeh Indian Rug 140 × 70 cm in Wool, hand-knotted

At a glance

Origin India, format 140 × 70 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 0.98 m² (4.6' × 2.3'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Construction

Pile material is given as wool, warp as cotton. It is entirely hand-knotted. Weight is given as ap. 4 kg.

Where it fits

The rug is rectangular. Small enough to sit in front of a dresser or just inside a door.

Fineness of the knotting

The stated knot density is under 200,000 knots/m². In the mid range the pattern stays clearly legible without making the rug delicate.

Colour and appearance

Colour is recorded as multicolour. 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.
