Product code: 64770801
A selection of truly unique and totally individual traditional hand-knotted rugs, this range from Gooch Oriental showcases rugs created by different artisans across town and village locations across the world, including traditional Persian creations. Each piece is carefully selected by the Gooch Oriental team to ensure its authenticity, quality and finish. Each one is knotted by hand, an intricate process using traditional hand knotting techniques. As such, no two pieces are the same, meaning you can add an authentic and unique piece of crafted design into your home, whilst supporting this heritage industry.
The Loribaft Gabbeh collection is one of the most popular designs. Our main production areas of this quality is Dawlat Abad and Andkhoy in Faryab province of Afghanistan. The nomadic Uzbek and Turkmen tribe weave this specific Loribaft quality. The design we use are mainly inspired by the Persian Loribaft Gabbeh Designs.
Like our other qualities we use hand spun Ghazni Wool, the foundation is cotton and we use pure natural dyes and has approximately 140000+ knots in a sq-meter. Once dyed and hand knotted on a cotton warp base in Afghanistan the rugs are then transported over to Pakistan where they are expertly finished including washing and trimming. Our Loribaft quality is usually slightly thicker and coarser than some of our other qualities.
Knot Count: In 1sqm of Loribaft rugs there would be around 140000 + knots.
