Overview

Origin Iran, format 158 × 110 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. That is roughly 1.74 m² of floor, about 5.2' × 3.6'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

On the knot count

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.

On the colourway
