Hand-woven Gabbeh - Natural Beige with scattered animal motifs creating a pastoral landscape

Product Description & Features

This is a warm, natural beige Gabbeh, hand-woven using traditional techniques by skilled artisans of the Qashqai nomadic tribe in southwestern Iran. With gentle, earthy beige tones as its main color, adorned with charming animal motifs that depict a pastoral scene, it is truly a masterpiece that expresses a "serene grassland."

The greatest appeal of this Gabbeh lies in its minimalist beauty, which utilizes its natural texture. The exquisite tonal variations, from beige to light gray, create the warmth and sophistication unique to hand-weaving. Small animal motifs scattered across the surface depict sheep, goats, and birds, which are familiar to nomadic life, expressed in deep red and blue accent colors. This simple yet richly storied composition is truly captivating.

As can be seen from the detailed image of the back, it is finished with a high-density weave of approximately 8-10 knots per inch, combining durability with beauty. The clear definition of each motif's outline is testament to the artisan skills passed down through generations.

Made from 100% natural wool, all dyed with natural plant dyes. The natural colors extracted from walnut shells, pomegranate rinds, and madder roots will deepen over time, creating a finish that becomes more cherished with use.
