Iran – 2nd half previous century – Condition: Mint condition – approx. 40,000 knots per m² – Wool/cotton – Hand-knotted

This is a hand-knotted Gabbeh rug, made of durable, natural materials.
The way it is knotted and the diversity in patterns make this carpet unique and emphasise its authentic and artisanal character.

Gabbeh rugs are made by nomads in the south-west of Iran.
Characteristic are the large sections, often with a few primitive patterns (often animals).

A Gabbeh is a thick rug made of wool on a cotton warp (bobbin thread), often with lots of abrash (mutually natural colour differences).

Gabbehs are excellent carpets with high durability.

This is a used carpet, more beautiful and richer in character due to the natural ageing process.
