Gabbeh Persian rugs are hand-woven by the people of the Qashqai tribe living around Shiraz. The Qashqai are nomadic shepherds whose flocks produce the wool used in their rugs. Gabbeh rugs are usually flat-woven from high quality local wool. They have very thick, soft and luxurious piles. Traditionally they have been woven without a pattern. The weavers took their inspiration from their surroundings. Gabbehs tend to have uncluttered fields with occasional geometric human or animal shapes. They can also feature all-over abstract patterns and bold stripes. |

Serapi as a design of carpet originated in sixteenth century India. Originally it was more floral with brighter colors. Today, Serapi's are woven in north-western Iran in and around Heriz. Today's Serapi's look more geometric and use a lot of earth tones. And the fact that they are mostly larger sizes with a thick pile, makes them very similar to the rugs of Heriz. A true Serapi is an antique Serapi. |
