| 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. |

Perhaps the most durable rug on earth, known to auctioneers as 'the carpet of steel', the unique Bidjar does more than look attractive. These indestructible rugs are woven by tough Kurdish people in the north-western town of Bidjar. Rich jewel tones in simple geometry, thick pile, structural strength and enormous weight mark the Bidjar. They are often imitated but never duplicated, because no other region uses the wet-loom technique adopted by the weavers of this city. This means constantly keeping wet the wool, warp, and weft during the long process of weaving, and beating down rows of weft with a comb at frequent intervals. The materials therefore tighten and shrink slightly when the rug is dried, making the piece extremely dense and strong. The Bidjars can have an all-over field, but more often a series of expanding hexagonal diamond medallions is seen. The friendly, peaceful people of Bidjar have earned one of the richest reputations in all of Asia for their highly prized carpets. Bidjars not only go well with modern or traditional interiors, but because of their incredible durability, these rugs are ideal for high-traffic areas such as a main entrances, corridors or kitchens. |

The Kashmar is a relatively rare carpet produced by master weavers in the province of Khorassan, in north-eastern Iran. The small city of Kashmar is very old, responsible for producing exquisite carpets for centuries. Kashmars are easily distinguishable because of their unique designs and their large size. The patterns are usually historic tableaux telling the story of a significant event in Persian history. Frequently there are views of the ancient ruins and sculpture of Persepolis, the kings Darius and Xerxes, and birds and animals from the Rubayat of Omar Khayam. There are also Kashmar carpets which resemble the classic Kashan, with central medallion and spandrels. |
