Wool Gabbeh Persian Rug 137 × 100 cm, hand-knotted

The piece in short

A Gabbeh from Iran, measuring 137 × 100 cm. The covered area is about 1.37 m² (4.5' × 3.3'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. A format for a smaller room, or the area directly in front of a sofa.

Knot density and quality

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.

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.
