Handwoven Gabbeh - Green & Red Border Design

Product description and feature explanation

This Gabbeh rug features a beautiful contrast of deep forest green and passionate red, woven using traditional techniques passed down through generations by nomads in Fars Province in southwestern Iran. The calm forest green main field in the center is powerfully framed by a warm terracotta red border, creating a natural harmony that seems to express the blessings of the earth.

The greatest appeal of this piece is the simple yet well-balanced color scheme and the exquisite hand-weaving technique.

Color composition

Center field: A rich, deep forest green with plant motifs and small flowers inspired by the Tree of Life.

Inner border: Vibrant terracotta red creates a powerful framing effect

Outer border: A green border that harmonizes with the center gives the whole piece an elegant look.

Weaving technique and quality

As you can see in the enlarged image above, the rug is woven at an extremely high density, with each knot evenly knotted and beautifully finished. The wool is soft to the touch, providing a comfortable cushioning to the feet. Because it is dyed with natural plant dyes, the color deepens and becomes more refined with use.

Motif and meaning

The central motif of the tree of life and flowers symbolizes fertility and eternal vitality, and is imbued with the nomadic people's prayers for the happiness and prosperity of their families. While maintaining symmetry, the warmth of hand-woven fabrics creates a value that cannot be replicated by machine weaving.

Recommended usage and applications

Living room/main space

This rug is perfect as a focal point in front of a sofa or under a coffee table. The calming green hue creates a relaxing effect, while the red accents add just the right amount of energy to the space. It creates a warmer, more luxurious atmosphere in any relaxing area where the family gathers.

Study/reading space

Deep green is said to have the effect of increasing concentration, so placing it around your desk or in your reading corner will create an environment that is rich in creativity. The moderate cushioning of natural wool reduces fatigue during long periods of work, providing a comfortable workspace.

Dining Room

By placing it under the dining table, it gives a warm and elegant impression to the dining space. The stain-resistant wool material makes it suitable for everyday use and relatively easy to maintain when food spills occur.

Bedrooms and private spaces

Using it as a bedside rug will give you a pleasant feeling of natural warmth under your feet in the morning and evening. The relaxing effect of green also contributes to creating a good sleeping environment.

Entrance

It is also ideal as an entrance mat to welcome guests. It creates a sense of dignity and warmth in the space that determines the first impression, and speaks to the good taste of the entire home.

Interior coordination proposals

Natural modern style

By combining it with solid oak or walnut furniture, you can achieve a beautiful harmony between natural materials. By placing ornamental plants (Monstera, ficus, olive trees, etc.), you can create a continuum of greenery, creating a relaxing space that is like recreating a small forest indoors.

Fusion with Nordic style

Combined with birch furniture and a light grey sofa, it can be used as an accent piece in a sophisticated Scandinavian interior. It also pairs perfectly with wool cushions, candles and ceramics, creating a cozy, hygge-inspired space.

Modern Classic Space

Coordinating it with dark wood furniture and leather sofas creates a traditional yet modern sophisticated space, while combining it with brass lighting fixtures and antique accessories creates an intelligent and refined adult space.

Mediterranean style

Combined with earth tones such as terracotta, ivory, and olive green, it recreates a warm Mediterranean atmosphere in your home. It also pairs well with ceramic vases, dried flowers, and linen materials, making it ideal for creating an open, resort-like space.

Contemporary Art Space

The warmth of handcrafted Gabbeh and its cultural value are further highlighted by contrasting it with the simple, clean lines of modern furniture. Combined with abstract and modern art, it can create a creative and inspiring space.
