Persian Gabbeh Runner Rug - Nomadic Life Poetry

Product description/features

This beautiful runner-type gabbeh is woven by skilled weavers from the nomadic Qashgai tribe of Fars province in southwestern Iran using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. The practical size of approximately 2.4m x 0.8m incorporates the blessings of nature and nomadic life, with a warm beige-brown color reminiscent of the desert land.

The biggest charm of this Gabbeh is its adorable animal and plant motifs, which look like scenes of nomadic life. The small creatures dotting the desert-colored earth bring peace and warmth to the hearts of those who view it.

A story of interwoven motifs

Goats and sheep: the precious livestock of nomads expressed in deep blue and red

Tree of Life: A sacred tree woven in dark blue symbolizing eternal life force.

Little birds: messengers of hope and peace, flying freely in the sky

Geometric pattern: a mysterious decorative motif that expresses the nomadic cosmology.

This gabbeh is woven at a high density of approximately 80-100 knots per square inch, as can be seen from the high magnification images of the weaving. The boundaries between the different colors are extremely clear, and the technical ability to precisely express even the smallest motifs is truly the pinnacle of craftsmanship.

The dyes used are all extracted from natural plants. The rich colors created by nature, such as the deep red of madder root, the mysterious blue of indigo, and the yellow of pomegranate peel, change beautifully over time and carve a history with the user.
