Handwoven Gabbeh - Green & Red Border Design

This Gabbeh rug features a beautiful contrast of deep forest green and passionate red, woven using traditional techniques passed down through generations by the nomadic people of Fars Province in southwestern Iran. The calm forest green main field is boldly framed by a warm terracotta red border, creating a natural harmony that seems to represent the bounty 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 expression of deep forest green, dotted with plant motifs and small flowers reminiscent of the Tree of Life. Inner border: A vibrant terracotta red creates a powerful framing effect. Outer border: A green edging that harmonizes with the center gives the whole piece an elegant look.

As you can see from the enlarged image, the weaving technique and quality are extremely densely woven, with each knot evenly 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 will deepen and become more tasteful 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 warm expression that is unique to hand-woven textiles creates a value that can never be reproduced by machine weaving.
