Gabbeh Rug Wool Red

Gabbeh carpets are traditionally made by Gashghai and Lori nomads in the Fars province around Shiraz. Originally, they served as a sleeping mat, as their high pile provides extra warmth. The hand-spun, lanolin-rich wool gives them a characteristic, slightly grainy surface texture. Many Gabbeh carpets are in natural cream, brown, and gray tones, while vibrant colors like red, yellow, green, and blue are created using plant dyes. The designs are usually simple, but occasionally stylized motifs from the daily life of the nomads can be found, including animals, plants, and people.
