A Gabbeh is a traditional carpet from Persia known for its simplicity and tribal style. The word "Gabbeh" comes from the Persian language and means roughly "raw" or "natural". These carpets are handwoven by various tribal groups in Iran, particularly the Qashqai in the Fars region.
The main features of Gabbeh carpets are:
Minimalist design: Gabbehs are characterized by their simple, geometric designs and abstract patterns. They often use bold, vibrant colors and simple shapes such as squares, rectangles and diamonds.
Thick Pile: Gabbeh rugs typically have a thicker pile (the raised surface of the rug) compared to other Persian rugs. This gives them a soft and luxurious feel underfoot.
Natural Dyes: Traditional Gabbeh rugs are often dyed using natural materials such as plants, roots and insects. This gives them a more muted and earthy color palette.
Tribal Art: Gabbehs are typically made by nomadic or semi-nomadic tribal communities in Iran. Therefore, they often incorporate elements of the weaver's cultural and personal experiences into the design of the rug.
Versatile Use: These rugs are not just decorative; They are also practical and can be used for various purposes including as floor coverings, wall hangings or even saddle bags for camels and horses.
Gabbeh rugs have gained popularity in interior design due to their rustic charm and artistic appeal. They add a warm and characterful touch to traditional and modern environments. Additionally, their handcrafted nature makes each Gabbeh rug unique as no two are exactly the same.
