Persian Gabbeh rug 160x90 cm

Persian Nomadic Gabbeh Rug. Gabbeh rugs often feature simple and not particularly detailed patterns. However, they are the most famous nomadic rugs from Iran. Gabbeh rugs are woven by the nomads of the Ghashghai tribe in the Fars province of Iran. The primary material is hand-spun wool, which is then dyed with natural colours obtained from plants and minerals. They are relatively thick, with a thickness of up to 2.5 cm. In Persian, Gabbeh means raw or natural. A perfect name for these nomadic rugs, whose design is limited to the essentials. A simple motif of a plant or animal, such as camels or trees, is often found on the rug. These motifs are inspired by the daily life of the nomads in the area. Dimensions: 160x90 cm. Condition: General wear of the wool, the wool is buckled (fringe).
