| 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. |

Small Size Steel Blue Mughal Garden Persian Oriental Area Rug 3x5 Wool

Retail price: $1875.00
Your price: $937.50

Mughal Garden pattern originates from a carpet woven in Northern India in the mid 1600’s. An antique carpet (ca. 1650) in the same design, only woven in pashmena wool on a silk foundation, is on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. During this time period flowers moved from being highlight designs to being the primary design of the carpets. These carpets bloomed with naturalistic floral motifs. Mughal carpets were also an inspiration to the famed William Morris and other arts & crafts innovators. |
