Adelaide Deep Blue Gabbeh Rug | Hand-Knotted Wool

Minimal, deep and calm. The Adelaide is a hand-knotted Gabbeh rug in a rich deep blue with natural tonal variation, scattered with a few tiny ivory motifs — almost a solid rug, with just enough detail to feel handmade.

Why This Rug Works in Your Room

A deep blue Gabbeh works like a neutral with personality: it grounds a living room or bedroom and pairs easily with white, grey, cognac leather and warm wood.

Rich deep blue field with natural abrash
A few tiny ivory motifs instead of a busy pattern
Calm enough for modern, coastal and Scandinavian rooms

100% New Zealand wool pile on a cotton warp

Integrated fringe, part of the warp, never sewn on
Natural abrash (tonal variation) from hand-dyeing is a sign of a handmade rug, not a flaw

FAQs

What is a Gabbeh rug?
Gabbeh is a tribal rug style from the Zagros Mountains of Iran, known for broad fields of color and a few small, playful motifs. This is a new rug, hand-knotted in India in that style.

Will this rug shed?
Hand-knotted wool sheds far less than tufted rugs because the pile is knotted, not glued. Light shedding in the first few weeks is normal and settles quickly.

Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. It's 100% natural wool with no latex backing and no synthetic blend.

Do you ship to the USA?
Yes. Every rug is made to order and shipped from our workshop in India with tracked delivery to all 50 states, usually arriving in about 40–45 days.
