Hand-Knotted Gabbeh Persian Rug, 87 × 138 cm, Wool

Overview

Origin Iran, format 87 × 138 cm — a Gabbeh made entirely by hand. The covered area is about 1.2 m² (2.9' × 4.5'). Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

What it is made of

Pile material is given as 100% new wool, warp as 100% new wool. It is entirely hand-knotted.

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. This knot density balances pattern definition against hard-wearing construction.

On the colourway

The stated colourway is multicolour. Handmade rugs always show slight colour shifts from knot to knot — that is a mark of hand work, not a defect.
