Persian Rug Gabbeh 250 x 350 cm Wool Hand-knotted

Gabbeh Persian Rug

Material and Craftsmanship

This Gabbeh Persian rug is hand-knotted and made with high-quality wool. Wool forms the pile and gives the surface its high-pile character. The pile is 24 mm high, creating a clearly textured and soft textile surface. Cotton is used for the warp. The combination of wool pile, cotton warp and hand-knotting defines the construction of this individual rug.

Hand-knotting is one of the established techniques of oriental rug making. Each knot is worked individually into the prepared warp. The completed surface is therefore built through a large number of separate manual steps. On this rug, that traditional technique is paired with a modern, solid red-orange design. The high pile contributes strongly to both the tactile quality and the visible structure of the rug.

Wool is used in rugs for its hard-wearing and durable properties. It also has natural characteristics that can contribute to a pleasant indoor climate. In this piece, high-quality wool is the principal pile material. The surface is described as easy to care for and resistant to dirt. The rug is also suitable for use over underfloor heating.

Origin and Tradition

This is a Persian rug with a regional design from Iran. Iranian rug making represents a long craft tradition in which different regions developed their own approaches to colour, composition and technique. Persian rugs are traditionally hand-knotted. Warp, pile and knots are built into a textile surface whose appearance reflects the practices associated with the wider Persian weaving culture.

The production of hand-knotted rugs depends on practical knowledge passed through generations in many weaving traditions. This includes preparing the warp, working the knots, securing the rows and finishing the pile. A contemporary appearance does not remove a rug from that tradition. In this case, the regional Iranian design is combined with a current colour concept and a deliberately reduced composition.

Gabbeh rugs are known within the Persian rug tradition for their direct, simplified appearance. Their visual character often comes from a strong field of colour, pronounced texture and a clear arrangement rather than from numerous small details. The high-pile construction reinforces that textile presence. This rug brings together the Gabbeh designation, a modern solid red-orange field and Iranian regional design.

Iranian rug culture includes floral compositions, geometric arrangements and designs with symbolic associations. The design of this particular rug, however, is described as modern and solid. Its classification therefore rests on the uninterrupted red-orange field rather than on any additional ornament that has not been specified. It remains a Gabbeh Persian rug with a high wool pile and regional Iranian design.

The relationship between hand craftsmanship and a restrained visual language is central to its character. The knotting technique connects the rug with Persian weaving tradition, while the solid red-orange colour gives it a contemporary direction. The two aspects complement one another: the making is traditional, whereas the design is modern and concentrated on a warm, continuous field.

Design and Pattern

The design is modern and solid red-orange. Red and orange together determine the visible colour impression of the rug. This warm combination creates a distinct colour statement without introducing a multi-part or finely detailed pattern. The composition can therefore be placed within contemporary interiors while also working alongside more traditional furnishings.

In a solid Gabbeh design, colour, pile and surface structure carry much of the visual expression. The 24 mm pile makes the texture apparent and gives the colour field a textile depth. A high-pile surface can reflect light differently as the fibres change direction, and its texture can also be noticed through touch. These general qualities explain why material and pattern are closely connected in Gabbeh rugs.

Traditional Persian rugs may feature floral details, geometric forms or symbolic motifs. This rug is specifically described as modern and solid red-orange. The design emphasis is consequently on the unified colour field rather than on individual ornaments or a narrative pattern. The Gabbeh tradition is expressed in a simplified way, while the colour choice gives the piece a contemporary appearance.

Red and orange are warm colour families frequently used to establish a strong visual focus in an interior. Here they form the stated colour scheme of the rug. The field can act as a unifying element in a room without suggesting a particular motif or symbolic story. The design remains clearly defined: a modern, solid Gabbeh Persian rug from Iran with a high wool pile.

The combination of traditional hand-knotting and reduced colour design is an important part of its formal identity. The manual technique refers to Persian rug craftsmanship, while the uninterrupted red-orange field follows a contemporary direction. Its origin and appearance therefore describe different but compatible aspects of the same piece: Iranian regional design, traditional construction and a modern surface treatment.

Special Features

The rug is new with a tag. It has a high wool pile and is hand-knotted. Use over underfloor heating is expressly indicated. The rug is suitable for bedrooms, offices, living rooms and dining areas. It can therefore be considered for a range of residential and working spaces.

High-quality wool, a cotton warp and hand-knotting define its construction. The modern solid red-orange design distinguishes it from rugs built around numerous small ornaments. Its appearance comes from the warm colour field and the high-pile texture. The rug thus combines traditional making, regional Iranian design and a contemporary approach to interior use.
