Afghan Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 194 x 142 cm
Afghan Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 194 x 142 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Instead of relying on a central motif, this Afghan Gabbeh rug draws its character from layers of colour moving gently across the wool pile. Light brown, beige and muted earthy tones flow through the field in fine horizontal bands, with subtle hints of rust and blue adding depth when viewed up close. The understated pattern allows the natural texture of the hand-knotted wool to take centre stage, giving the rug a calm, grounded presence and the individual character of traditional Gabbeh weaving.

Care & Maintenance
- Hand-knotted wool rugs are made to last with the right care. Vacuum gently using a suction-only setting, rotate the rug occasionally for even wear, and blot any marks promptly with a clean cloth rather than rubbing.
- For deeper cleaning, professional rug cleaning is recommended to help protect the wool fibres, natural dyes and hand-knotted structure of the rug.
Note
- Each rug is professionally photographed to represent its colours as accurately as possible, while natural light, pile direction and digital display settings may create subtle variations in tone.
- Where additional colour is required, the wool in our hand-knotted rugs is coloured exclusively with vegetable dyes, complementing the fibre’s natural tonal variation and the individual character of the weave.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
