This masterpiece Gabbeh, worthy of being called "Animals' Paradise," was crafted by skilled weavers from the nomadic Qashqai tribe of Shiraz, southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets. Its patchwork composition, with colorful borders arranged like a picture frame against a warm golden ochre background, enriches the hearts of those who see it.

The beauty of color composition

The golden main field in the center is surrounded by vibrantly colored border panels. The rich hues of crimson, olive green, deep blue, orange-red, and turquoise, all dyed with natural plant dyes, create a harmony that resembles a rainbow.

Adorable animal motifs

Animals essential to nomadic life are lovingly woven into the central golden ochre field. Goats and sheep in deep blue, large cow and horse motifs in the center, and a procession of small animals lined up in an orderly fashion are warm expressions that truly evoke the everyday life of nomads.

Decorative beauty of the border

Each colorful border panel is intricately woven with a different animal or plant motif: white silhouettes of sheep and camels, colorful birds, and geometric floral and leaf patterns add unity and variety to the overall look.

Exceptional weaving techniques

As you can see from the details on the back, this Gabbeh is woven with an astonishing density. The boundaries between different colors are extremely clear, and even the smallest motifs are precisely expressed, a testament to the craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.

Commitment to natural materials

All colors are dyed with dyes extracted from natural plants. The deep hues produced by dozens of plants, including saffron, madder, indigo, and turmeric, become more beautiful with age and become a part of the user's history.
