Handwoven Gabbeh Tree of Life and Animal Paradise

Product description and features

This beautiful Gabbeh, carefully handwoven by nomads in southwestern Iran, is based on the theme of the "Tree of Life." With a refreshing blue sky on the top, seven distinctive trees in the center, and a warm red earth on the bottom, it is a masterpiece that truly expresses the four seasons and the vitality of nature.

The greatest charm of this Gabbeh is the diversity of the seven trees placed in the center. Each one is expressed in a different color and shape, creating a beauty that seems to capture the changing of the seasons in a single carpet:

The trees on the upper level are lined up, including trees with beautiful reddish-brown fallen leaves, yellow trees with fresh green leaves, deep blue evergreen trees, and powerful trees with black trunks, with small animals resting at the base of each tree.

The lower row of trees: Orange-hued autumn trees are placed on either side, while a rich, deep green tree stands out in the center. Around the trees, livestock such as sheep and goats are depicted peacefully grazing.

Each tree has a vertical central axis, symbolizing life, from which branches and leaves spread symmetrically. This "Tree of Life" motif is a sacred symbol of eternal vitality and fertility in Persian culture.

A small sun shines in the sky, and the earth is dotted with tiny flower and grass motifs, expressing the harmony and abundance of the natural world.

As you can see from the enlarged image on the back, this Gabbeh is woven at a very high density, allowing for precise expression down to the smallest details. Crafted using only natural wool and vegetable dyes, it is a masterpiece that develops a beautiful texture the more it is used, thanks to traditional techniques passed down through generations.
