The Gabbeh is a very simple hand-woven tribal rug made by nomadic people in southern Iran and India. Its distinctive native style is especially suited to modern and eclectic interiors. The early weaver was given only the cotton for the base, along with dyed woolen yarn. He had no pattern, but looked at his surroundings and reproduced what he saw. Therefore each carpet is unique. This spontaneous style recently achieved much wider acceptance, and became very popular at home and abroad. Generally on a thick, heavy pile it combines large uncluttered fields with the occasional geometric human or animal silhouette. Sometimes there are over-all abstract patterns or bold stripes. Due to great demand for the Indo-Gabbeh, patterns were eventually made of the more popular designs. Once production was organized, specific colors, sizes and designs could be ordered. However, due to the variety in texture and quality of natural woolen yarn, with occasional gray fibers occurring, 'abrash' * ensures that no two rugs are identical. |

Heriz is a small town with a grand reputation. It is located in north-western Iran, south of Tabriz in the province of Azerbaijan. The tribal Heriz is a thicker, heavier carpet, renowned for its earth tones and geometric patterns. While no two carpets are identical, they tend to have an attractive similarity. Most have a large squarish medallion in black or navy set in a lighter field, with the main colors of the rug in shades of rust red, with beige, navy, brown or black details. Sizes are usually large in these rugs, smaller sizes being rare for this group. |
