Handwoven Gabbeh "Forest Story" - Green Border, Multi-Motif

Product Description and Features

This beautiful Gabbeh is meticulously handwoven, thread by thread, by skilled nomadic weavers in Iran, carrying on the traditions of Persian carpets. It features an elegant and tranquil design, characterized by a geometric composition of approximately 15 regularly arranged square panels and a deep olive green border.

The greatest charm of this Gabbeh lies in the rich narrative embedded in each panel. The natural beige base color is framed by a vibrant green border, which gives the overall piece a sense of unity and dignity.

Diverse Motifs in Each Panel:

Tree of Life: In the upper central section, a sacred Tree of Life shines with gold thread against a deep green background, symbolizing prosperity and abundance.

Colorful Mosaic: Four panels feature patchwork patterns of red, blue, yellow, and white, creating a beauty reminiscent of a jewel box.

People and Animals: The central panel incorporates human silhouettes, depicting the daily life of nomads.

Botanical Patterns: Delicate flower and leaf motifs are placed throughout, expressing reverence for nature.

Geometric Patterns: Stripes and lattice patterns are interwoven, creating traditional decorative beauty.

All dyes used are vegetable dyes extracted from natural plants. The deep hues created by dozens of plants such as saffron, madder, indigo, and turmeric, deepen and change beautifully with use, possessing a beauty that can be passed down through generations.

The quality of the wool is also noteworthy; it uses high-quality wool obtained from sheep raised in the clear air of the Iranian plateau. It combines natural luster, a soft touch, and excellent durability.
