Afghan Gabbeh carpets occupy a particular place in the handmade carpet market. They are not made to impress on first glance. They are made with honest materials and a direct aesthetic that asks to be lived with rather than admired from a distance. Hand-spun wool, natural vegetable dyes, simple geometric composition. Over time the pile softens, the colours settle, and the carpet becomes part of the room in a way that a newer or more formal piece rarely does.
This piece has a multicolour palette on a medium format ground of 4'2" x 5'8". The colours are warm rather than bold, which makes it easier to place than many multicolour carpets. It sits comfortably in rooms with natural materials and a relaxed, considered aesthetic.
In your home: Works in bedrooms, compact sitting rooms and as a layering piece over plain flooring. Pairs with natural timber, linen, rattan and warm neutral walls.
