Afghan Gabbeh carpets are made with hand-spun baby lamb's wool and natural vegetable dyes. The black Gabbeh is one of the most dramatic pieces in the range, the dark field giving simple geometric forms an intensity that warmer colours do not produce.
This large piece at 6 ft 1 in x 9 ft 2 in has a bold black ground. The dark field pairs with almost any accent colour, making it a versatile choice despite its apparent boldness. Knotted at 81 knots per square inch in wool on cotton. The natural dyes develop with age.
In your home: Works as the main floor piece in a sitting room or dining room. The black ground pairs with gold, cream, warm timber and contemporary as well as traditional interiors.
