Hand-woven Gabbeh: "Jewel Box of the Desert" - Traditional Berber Design from Iran

This beautiful Gabbeh, meticulously hand-woven by nomads in the southwestern Fars province, depicts a "flower garden blooming in the desert." It is a unique work of art, recognized for its rich cultural background and the artisan's skill, all within a compact size.

Central Tree of Life Feature: A Tree of Life with yellow and orange flowers blooming from a vertical trunk, rendered in deep blue and turquoise, is centrally placed. This is a sacred motif symbolizing "fertility and blessings" for the nomads.

Side Decorative Panels: On either side, small animal and plant motifs, expressed in a combination of red and blue, are woven vividly as if they were creatures of a desert oasis. Weaving Technique: The high-density hand-weaving allows even fine motifs to be expressed with precision.

The high density created by the Ghiordes knot ensures both a pleasant underfoot feel and a beautiful finish.

Natural Materials and Dyes

The wool used is high-quality fleece from sheep raised in the highlands, and all colors are natural plant-derived dyes. Dyes extracted from local plants such as madder (red), indigo (blue), saffron (yellow), and pomegranate (orange) will, over time, chronicle a long history with the user.
