Additional Information:
Classy modern style rug handmade by traditional, age-old methods.
This Afghan Gabbeh rug is hand-knotted by Turkoman tribes in the province of Aqcha in Northern Afghanistan using 100% hand spun wool on a cotton warp.
It has a luxurious pile made from wool formed by hand-tied knots secured onto a cotton foundation. Gabbeh Rugs traditionally tend to have a thick pile. The pile height on these Gabbeh Rugs is short, and is of a similar thickness to a Ziegler Rug (in the region of 7-8mm thick).
The rugs are then transported over to Pakistan where they undergo expert finishing processes including washing and trimming.
A super choice for modern interiors! A great hard wearing quality: this rug is suitable for use in any home.
