Gabbeh Rugs

Gabbeh are antique tribal and rural Persian carpets with a basic geometric design and a very thick pile. The carpets are woven by nomads of the province of Fars, in the vicinity of the renowned city of Shiraz. Gabbeh, like many other Persian carpets, are crafted using hand-spun local wool and natural dye. Gabbeh weavers often use simplified human, animal, and tree motifs, using their creativity and the surrounding surroundings to weave these patterns. Although tribal, the abstract and cubist patterns of Persian Gabbeh seem rather contemporary and complement the décor of contemporary dwellings.
