Product Description & Features

This beautiful Gabbeh, with the "Tree of Life" as its central theme, was meticulously woven by skilled artisans in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, the sacred home of Persian carpets. Measuring 90cm x 60cm, this convenient size embodies the rich imagination of nomads and traditional symbolism, resulting in a heartwarming piece.

Symbolism and Beauty of the Design

Adorning the center of this Gabbeh is the "Tree of Life," a symbol of vitality and fertility in Persian culture. Against a warm cream background, a beautiful tree with symmetrically arranged colorful flowers and leaves appears to depict a paradise scene.

Composition and Color Palette:

Central Tree of Life: Branches extending from a deep green trunk, blooming with orange, deep red (wine red), and navy blue flowers.

Scattered Small Flowers: Small plant motifs placed on either side, expressing the richness of nature throughout.

Sun in the Upper Right: A vibrant orange circular motif symbolizing the life-giving sun.

Land at the Bottom: Bold color blocking of deep red (crimson) and dark green representing abundant land.

Tassels at the Four Corners: Beautiful fringes woven with colorful threads of red, blue, yellow, and green, adding a touch of splendor to the entire piece.

Exquisite Hand-Woven Technique

As can be seen from the detailed images, each petal and leaf shape is woven with extreme precision. The central Tree of Life, in particular, maintains symmetry while exhibiting the warmth characteristic of hand weaving, with orange, wine red, and navy flowers arranged in exquisite balance.

Depth of Natural Plant Dyes

All colors used are derived from traditional Iranian plant dyes. Natural pigments extracted from dozens of plants such as saffron (orange), madder (red), indigo (blue), and turmeric (yellow) deepen over time, creating a history with the owner. You can enjoy the natural color transitions and depth that chemical dyes can never replicate.

100% Natural Wool Comfort

Made from 100% high-quality wool from sheep raised in the Iranian highlands. Thanks to the moisture-regulating, insulating, and elastic properties inherent in natural wool, it can be used comfortably all year round. It also has natural antibacterial and insect-repellent properties, making maintenance easy.
