Persian Gabbeh Rugs | Carpets crafted by nomads in Persia

Persian Gabbeh

Real Persian Gabbeh carpets come from Fars, a province in the southwest of Iran. On the slopes of the Zagros Mountains there, nomadic tribes have been making carpets by hand for centuries using traditional methods. The Persian word Gabbeh means "raw" or "natural". This refers to the characteristic structure of the oriental carpets of this provenance, which is coarse and natural.

Persian Gabbeh - nomadic rug in handmade quality

The hard-wearing Persian Gabbeh rugs are among the original knotted oriental rugs. Their production is firmly anchored in the culture of the nomadic peoples of Iran and can be traced back to a centuries-old tradition. To this day, they are still made by the tribes and family groups of the Ghashghai, Afshars, Bakhtiars and Khamseh, some of whom are sedentary. They use the wool of their sheep and goats, which live in the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, as the material. This natural environment gives the wool a fine sheen and a smooth texture.

The hand-spun threads are processed into strong, resilient rugs with a low knot density. The Persian Gabbeh Loribaft is an exception. The name Lori stands for "of the Lurs" and refers to the nomadic people of the same name, who are known for their fine knotting. For the nomads in Persia, a gabbeh is an everyday item that is mainly used as a sleeping mat. For this reason, the design of Persian Gabbeh rugs is presented in restrained, subtle shades of beige, blue and red.

Good home textiles should be both aesthetic and functional. This description applies to the Persian Gabbeh, as it combines artistic talent with hard-wearing natural materials. There are no patterns. Instead, the master weavers follow their individual inspirations and their flair for colors and shapes. Small irregularities are typical of an authentic Gabbeh rug from Persia and give it its unique character. In your home, it blends harmoniously into the overall picture and offers your feet a cushioning base with its traditional high pile. Lay the Persian Gabbeh under a larger group of furniture. The imprints will automatically disappear over time. A Persian Gabbeh rug also impresses with its durability as a soft play rug in the children's room or as an easy-care runner in your hallway.
