For a long time I have been looking for a "real beautiful Gabbeh", impeccable from the 70s and above all beautiful like a contemporary art painting, to put on the floor or on the wall, a work of art. Gabbeh means “raw, natural, whole” in Farsi, one of the Persian languages.
It designates a carpet which is characterized by a coarse and rather primitive pattern, most often knotted by the Gashghai nomads of the province of Fars, in southwestern Iran.
These rugs are probably the most famous hand-knotted nomadic rugs from Iran because they are very fashionable today. They are made from hand-spun wool, both for the pile and the warp, and the yarn is dyed with plant-based dyes.
These rugs are much thicker than other Persian rugs, sometimes reaching up to 2.5 cm thick with long pile.
The pattern of the carpet is often of a simple type, with only a few insertions of decorative objects, mostly rectangular, containing animals.
Over the last five decades, weavers, to satisfy the desires of Westerners, have begun to use large, light fields on Gabbeh carpets with sparse decoration that are very popular for their simplicity.
We come across some very flowery old models on bright fields, one of which you will find in our gallery, perhaps they benefited from the influence of the Baluchis, further north. This rug is in very good condition (perfect) intended for a lover of nuggets from this era, its brilliant colors are of rare great beauty.
