Afghan Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 196 x 157 cm
Afghan Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 196 x 157 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
This Afghan Gabbeh rug turns simple colour blocking into a bold handmade statement. A deep red border frames the composition with warmth and strength, while the field is divided between dark navy and layered blue tones that create a calm, grounded contrast. The beauty of this piece sits in its restraint: open colour sections, visible wool texture and subtle tonal movement give the rug depth without relying on heavy ornament. Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, this Gabbeh rug brings together graphic modern appeal and the natural character of traditional handmade 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 handmade 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.
- Each hand-knotted rug is coloured using 100% vegetable dyes, giving the fibres natural depth, gentle tonal movement and the individual character of handmade weaving.
- Over time, vegetable-dyed handmade rugs may gently soften in tone, adding to the natural ageing and textile character that makes each piece unique.
