Handwoven Gabbeh - Green & Red Border Design

Product description/Explanation of features

This gabbeh has a beautiful contrast of deep forest green and passionate red, woven using traditional techniques passed down from generation to generation by the nomadic tribes of Fars province in southwestern Iran. The calm forest green main field in the center is strongly framed by a warm terracotta red border, creating a sense of natural harmony as if expressing the blessings of the earth.

The biggest charm of this work is the simple yet well-calculated color balance and precise hand-weaving technique.

Color composition

Center field: A rich, deep forest green look dotted with plant motifs and small flowers inspired by the tree of life.

Inside border: Bright terracotta red creates a strong framing effect

Outside border: A green border that harmonizes with the center brings the whole item together elegantly.

Weaving technique and quality

As you can see from the enlarged image above, it is woven with extremely high density, and each knot is uniform and beautifully finished. The wool has a soft texture and provides comfortable cushioning to the touch. Because it is dyed with natural dyes from plants, the more you use it, the deeper and more flavorful the color will become.

motif and meaning

The tree of life and flower motifs placed in the center symbolize fertility and lasting vitality, and contain the nomads' prayers for the happiness and prosperity of their families. While maintaining symmetry, the warm expression unique to hand-woven fabrics creates value that cannot be recreated with machine-woven fabrics.
