Gabbeh Rug, 140 X 200 Cm, Hand Knotted Wool, Iran Circa 1970-1980, Perfect Condition, Thickness 3 Cm

Wonderful Gabbeh in hand-knotted wool circa 1970-1980, modern decorative rug.
This rug measures 140 cm wide by 200 cm long for a comfortable wool thickness of three cm.
This magnificent bright, thick, comfortable piece has great modernity, it can be placed on the wall like a wool painting or on the floor.
I like to find "real beautiful Gabbeh", impeccable from the 70s and 80s and above all decorative like contemporary art paintings, to put on the floor or on the wall.
Gabbeh means “raw, natural, whole” in Farsi, one of the Persian languages.
It meant a carpet which is characterized by a coarse and rather primitive pattern.
Mainly tied by the Gashghai nomads of the Fars province, in the southwest of Iran.
These rugs are probably the most famous hand-knotted nomadic rugs from Iran because they are very fashionable today.
They are made of wool on wool, the wool is spun by hand, for the velvet as well as for the warp, and the yarn is dyed with dyes always of plant origin. These rugs are much thicker than other Persian rugs, sometimes reaching up to 2.5cm - 3cm thick with long pile.
The pattern of the carpet is often of a simple type, sometimes with only a few insertions of decorative panels, mostly rectangular, containing stylized 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, see the last three photos, you will find it on our Proantic gallery.
These carpets certainly 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.
