Handwoven Gabbeh Runner Size - Nomadic Rainbow Carpet

Product description/features

This Gabbeh is a masterpiece that is worthy of being called the ``Rainbow Carpet'', created by nomads in southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets, using hand-woven techniques and a rich sense of color that have been passed down from generation to generation. The runner-sized elongated shape is woven with colorful stripes and the world of adorable animals.

The biggest charm of this Gabbeh is its bright color composition, which seems to capture the four seasons of nature in one piece. A deep red border frame strongly frames the entire piece, and seven different colored bands are arranged regularly in the center.

Color composition from top to bottom:

Warm golden orange - saffron-like shine

Deep forest green - A deep green reminiscent of coniferous trees in mountainous areas.

Soft cream color - natural whiteness of wool

Mysterious midnight blue - deep blue like the starry sky

Golden orange again - the warmth of the setting sun

Rich olive green - expressing the blessings of the earth

Cream color at the bottom - pure white like clouds or snow

Each color band is studded with animal and plant motifs closely related to nomadic life. The adorable silhouettes of sheep, goats, camels, birds, and other animals are woven with precision to match each color tone, creating a vivid expression that feels like a slice of pastoral life on the prairie.

The density of the weave is extremely high, and the high level of technical ability can be seen from the structure on the back side. The boundaries between different colors are extremely clear, and even the smallest motifs are precisely expressed without blurring their outlines. This technique is the result of the skilled craftsmanship passed down through generations.

The dyes used are all extracted from natural plants. The deep colors produced by dozens of plants such as saffron, madder, indigo, pomegranate, and turmeric will age more beautifully over time, carving a history with the user.
