  • Notes:
  • Gabbeh rugs are some of the most popular, hand-knotted oriental rugs. Made by Ghashghai nomads of Persia and knotters in India and Nepal, these floor coverings are for the most part exceptionally straight forward in their designs and contain just a couple of decorations. Whats more, they are frequently influenced by motifs in nature. Such a rug is an ideal for brightening a room, as they are a carefully crafted piece with a fantastic delicate surface. Traditionally a sleeping rug, a gabbeh is a hand-woven rug of coarse quality, and characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran. Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other Persian carpets. Sometimes they can be as much as one inch in depth. The word gabbeh comes from the Persians, meaning raw, natural, uncut. This is a rough and primitive carpet. Gabbeh patterns are a very basic kind, with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. Gabbehs usually use bright colors, such as yellow and red. Although large fields of solid colors are used in gabbeh designs, the colors can vary. Gabbehs are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye.
