Afghan Gabbeh carpets are woven with hand-spun baby lamb's wool and natural vegetable dyes. Red is the most traditional colour in Afghan Gabbeh production and this piece carries it with the confidence of a long weaving history.
This large piece at 5 ft 7 in x 8 ft 1 in has a bold red field with simple geometric patterning. Knotted at 81 knots per square inch in wool on cotton. The vegetable dyes will develop a patina with age rather than fading starkly. At this size the piece anchors a full sitting room or dining area.
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.
