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. |

All of the carpets in our Kimono collection are hand-knotted in India with a blend of Gazni Afghan and Indian handspun wool, incorporating a high hand twisted base with a light twist in the motif giving an almost 3D effect. The base is made from hand-spun wool and the motif is machine spun this unique combination of weaving is an original developed by Nature’s Looms. Using this combination gives this collection not only a 3D effect but a silky feel as well, completely unique. An original design concept.
The Kimono is the traditional clothing in Japan. Kimono styles have changed in Japan over a period of time. Our “Kimono” design is most closely modeled after the kimono of the Edo period around 1601-1867 A.D. During this time period better dyeing techniques were developed, and they were now made of multicolored, highly decorated fabric. |
