Afghan Gabbeh carpets are woven with hand-spun baby lamb's wool and natural vegetable dyes, in a tradition that prizes material honesty and direct expression. Red is the most common ground colour in Afghan Gabbeh production, and for good reason. It is warm, commanding and comfortable to live with.
This large piece at 5 ft 10 in x 7 ft 11 in has a bold red field with simple geometric patterning. Knotted at 81 knots per square inch in wool on cotton. The natural vegetable dyes will not fade harshly with age. At this size the piece works as the main floor covering in a sitting room or bedroom.
In your home: Works as the main floor piece in a sitting room or bedroom. Pairs with dark timber, natural stone and warm neutral tones.
