Handwoven Gabbeh carpet with colorful patchwork and animal motifs

Product description and features

This masterpiece, a "paradise of color," was created by skilled weavers in southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets, using the rich color sense of nomads and traditional hand-weaving techniques. The patchwork design, made up of six vibrantly colored panels, features adorable animal images woven into it.

The most distinctive feature of this Gabbeh is its beautiful patchwork construction, which resembles pieces of a rainbow. A bluish-gray border envelops the entire piece like a picture frame, revealing a world of six different colors.

Top left (deep red): Small animals and plant motifs are scattered across a warm, deep red background. Top right (vibrant orange): Blue birds and flowers dance against a bright orange like the sun. Middle left (deep olive green): A white goat and animals with red accents stand against a green background reminiscent of the earth. Middle right (cream): Symmetrically placed animals and a central decorative motif against a soft cream background. Bottom left (golden orange): Small creatures play freely against a shining golden background. Bottom right (deep crimson): Animals are depicted in passionate crimson with blue and green accents.

Each panel depicts sheep, goats, birds, and various small animals frolicking in paradise. As can be seen from the detailed images, each small motif is woven with astonishing precision, demonstrating the culmination of craftsmanship handed down through generations.

The rich colors used are all dyed with dyes extracted from natural plants. The deep hues produced by dozens of plants, such as saffron, madder, indigo, and turmeric, become more beautiful with age, carving out a history with the user.
