Gabbeh Tree of Life and Animal Paradise - Handwoven Rug

Product description and features

This beautiful Gabbeh, handwoven by nomads in southwestern Iran, is truly a "hymn to life." Its unique three-tiered layout incorporates the symbolic tree of life and various animals, creating a richly narrative piece.

Design Features

Upper and lower sections (beige-based areas) The Tree of Life, with its powerful red trunk, stands majestically against a gray-brown background. Small animals are scattered around it, creating a peaceful scene of animals resting in the shade. Yellow-green trees are also woven into the design, illustrating the diversity of nature.

Central section (cream-based area) The magnificent Tree of Life stands out against the warm cream-colored earth. Lush branches and leaves spread from its black trunk, and to the right is another tree with a vibrant green crown. Small animals running freely express an idyllic world brimming with vitality.

Border design The deep red border that separates each tier is woven with intricate geometric patterns and small animal motifs. This decorative band elegantly tightens the whole and highlights the beauty of each area.

Weaving technique and quality

The precision of the expression achieved through high-density hand weaving is truly impressive. As you can see from the detailed images, every single small animal and tree branch and leaf has been woven with incredible precision. This is a masterpiece that brings together the best of traditional techniques by artisans with many years of experience.

Made from natural wool and dyed with plant dyes, the texture develops a richer texture the more you use it.
