Persian Gabbeh "Melody of the Earth" - Traditional Striped Handwoven Rug

This elegant striped Gabbeh is meticulously handwoven by nomads in southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. The richly colored bands, representing the bounty of the earth, flow horizontally, creating beautiful gradations that resemble slices of natural geological layers or the evening sky. This handy-sized Gabbeh truly combines the nomadic color sense and the skilled craftsmanship of artisans to create a masterpiece that can be called the "melody of the earth."

The most distinctive feature of this Gabbeh is its simple yet profound stripe structure. The bands of color flowing from top to bottom each express a different natural expression.

Upper blue zone: A gradation from dark blue to bright sky blue, representing the deep color of the sky. Small floral and animal motifs scattered throughout create a poetic expression, like constellations peeking through the clouds.

Central gray zone: A calm gray tone reminiscent of the rocky surface of the earth and morning mist. Motifs of small birds and flowers familiar to the nomadic people are delicately woven into the natural colors.

Green Zone: From deep olive green to bright light green, representing the rich grasslands and forests. From the fresh green of spring to the deep green of autumn, the workings of nature throughout the four seasons are expressed.

Red accent obi: The passionate red obi tightens the overall look and expresses the vividness of the sunset and flowers. This red obi adds contrast and vitality to the overall color scheme.

The boundaries between each color band create a natural gradation, demonstrating the advanced technical skill required to simultaneously express multiple landscapes on a single carpet. The dyes used are all natural plant-based dyes, including saffron, madder, indigo, and walnut shells. Enjoy the deep colors that cannot be achieved with chemical dyes, and the beautiful aging that occurs over time.

The weave density is approximately 25 knots per square centimeter. This high density weave provides both comfort and durability, making it suitable for a wide range of uses, from everyday use to creating special spaces. The uniformity of the weave, visible from the back, is a testament to the skill of our skilled craftsmen.
