Afghan Gabbeh Hand-Knotted Wool Rug - 170 x 126 cm
One-of-a-kind hand-knotted piece
No two are alike - each rug carries its own pattern, colour balance and handmade character
Framed in golden beige, this Afghan Gabbeh rug arranges broad passages of deep red and soft grey with the clarity of modern abstract art. The bands are confidently simple, yet gentle tonal shifts across the wool keep the surface alive—warm, grounded and unmistakably handmade.
Hand-knotted in Afghanistan from pure wool pile, the rug unites traditional Gabbeh character with a clean contemporary spirit. Its generous border, graphic rhythm and tactile depth give this one-of-a-kind piece a presence that feels both composed and expressive.

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.
