Handwoven Gabbeh in traditional sampler style, natural beige with colorful motifs

Product description and features

The greatest appeal of this Gabbeh lies in its rich expressiveness in the sampler style. Various motifs are woven symmetrically above and below the natural beige background, as if expressing all of the weaver's skill and creativity in one carpet.

The upper and lower decorative panels feature five square motifs woven with red, blue, and brown threads. Each one features different geometric patterns and animal motifs, conveying the traditional symbolism of Persian carpets to the modern era.

A thick dark blue border line in the center adds a powerful accent, and above and below it are delicate plant and animal motifs regularly arranged. Small flowers, birds, and four-legged animals in red and dark blue tones tell the story of the weaver's everyday scenery and love for nature.

The overall structure maintains perfect symmetry while also retaining the warm irregularity that only handwoven fabrics can offer.The colors used are all natural plant dyes, featuring deep colors created by vegetable dyes such as saffron, madder, and indigo.

As can be seen in the detailed image on the back, the fabric is woven at an extremely high density, allowing even the smallest motifs to be clearly defined. This technical ability is testament to the skilled techniques of nomadic weavers that have been passed down through generations.
