Rug gabbeh
Code: 2407007Product detailed description
Gabbeh is a hand-woven carpet traditionally made by the nomadic people of southern Iran. Gabbeh rugs are made from hand-spun wool dyed with vegetable pigments, and the patterns are created by knots tied on a rectangular warp. The surface of the carpet is usually divided into simple geometric patterns of different colours. The word Gabbeh means rough, natural, unprocessed. Compared to other Persian rugs, Gabbeh is thicker. The fact that Iranian manufacturers were among the few to retain the traditional technique of dyeing with natural pigments made these carpets very popular in the Western world, especially in the second half of the twentieth century.
This example is dyed in red, green and yellow, with typical animal designs and fringes at the ends. The carpet is in excellent condition.
