Modern Gabbeh Rug

Gabbeh Persian Nomad Rug

Gabbeh rugs are often simple and not particularly detailed.
However, these are the most famous nomadic carpets of Iran.
Gabbeh carpets are knotted by the nomads of the Ghashghai tribe in the province of Fars in Iran.

The basic material is hand-spun wool, which is then dyed with natural colors obtained from plants and minerals. They are relatively thick, a thickness of up to 2.5 cm. In Persian, Gabbeh means raw or natural. The perfect name for these nomadic rugs, whose design is limited to the essentials.

A simple plant or animal motif, such as camels or trees, is often found on the rug. These patterns are inspired by the daily life of the surrounding nomads.
On this model, the design is rather timeless, artistic and quite rare for a nomadic rug.
