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. |
