Gabbeh 153x97cm Red

Gabbeh rugs are made by Gashgai and Lori nomads in the province of Fars, around Shiraz. The rugs were originally used for sleeping, as they have a higher pile for warmth. The uneven, hand-spun lanolin-rich wool gives Gabbeh a typical grainy surface structure. Many rugs have natural cream, brown and grey tones. The red, yellow, green and blue colors are made with vegetable dyes. Most Gabbehs are plain; if motifs are shown, they are stylized patterns from the everyday life of the nomads. Goats, camels, dogs, plants and people are common motifs.

The pieces are knotted and woven by talented weavers, some of whom still live as nomads and use traditional handcrafting techniques on wooden looms. Their knowledge, experience, and individual style are incorporated into every piece. Each rug is made from natural vintage materials and yarn, authentic, timeless, and telling its own unique story.
