This large Gabbeh rug, woven in the Shiraz region of southwestern Iran, is a striking piece. At just 180 x 104 cm, it's the perfect size for a central spot in the living room or dining area, adding warmth and character to the entire space.

The greatest attraction of this Gabbeh is its checkerboard design, where colorful squares are regularly arranged. The rich colors found in nature, such as blue, red, orange, green, and beige, are harmoniously combined to form a beautiful pattern that will make anyone's heart leap.

Each square features a charming depiction of an animal familiar to nomads, with the camel motif being particularly striking. Other motifs include deer, goats, birds, and wildflowers, creating a warm and inviting worldview reminiscent of an illustrated encyclopedia of the animals encountered by nomads on their journeys.

The natural beige border that surrounds the rug brings out the vibrant colors in the center, creating a beautiful overall balance. The four sides are decorated with Gabbeh-specific fringes, highlighting the beauty of the traditional finish.

camel motif
The camel is a symbol of the tenacity and vitality needed to survive in the harsh desert environment. It represents the mental strength to keep moving forward without giving up even in difficult situations, and is imbued with the wish for strength and unity to overcome difficulties in the family.

Furthermore, for nomads, camels were a valuable asset and a symbol of wealth and status. As livestock, camels provided the basis of livelihood by providing milk, meat, and wool, and camels in merchant caravans signified prosperity through trade.
