Gabbeh Persian Rug 204 × 310 cm, Wool, hand-knotted

The piece in short

This Gabbeh comes from Iran and measures 204 × 310 cm. That is roughly 6.32 m² of floor, about 6.7' × 10.2'. Gabbeh rugs favour simple, open designs and a thick pile.

Materials and construction

Stated material: new wool.

Format and use

The rug is rectangular. At this size it anchors a living room as the central surface.

On the knot count

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. With traditionally dyed wool, small variations of tone within one field are normal.
