Hand-Woven Gabbeh Rug: Natural Border Design

Product Description & Features

This is a high-quality Gabbeh rug meticulously woven by skilled nomadic artisans in Iran, who inherit the traditions of Persian rugs. Each piece is crafted using hand-spun wool, resulting in a warm and inviting texture. It features a sophisticated border design composed of natural beige and gray colors.

The greatest charm of this Gabbeh lies in its beautiful concentric border structure, expanding from the center outwards:

Central Field: A soft, plain cream-colored area delicately woven with small animal motifs symbolizing nomadic life.

First Border: A deep charcoal gray band that acts as a frame, tightening the central area.

Second Border: Returns to a bright beige, balancing the overall look and creating an elegant impression.

Outer Fringe: Colorful tassels at all four corners add an accent to the simple design.

As can be seen from the detailed image of the back, this Gabbeh is woven at a very high density, achieving both robustness and beauty. The boundaries between different colors are extremely clear, boasting durability that can withstand years of use.

Made from 100% natural wool, the material is characterized by deep colors from vegetable dyes. You can enjoy the natural color variations that cannot be replicated by chemical dyes, and the beauty of the texture that deepens with time.
