dark blue rug – 003

Gabbeh has simple patterns and longer piles than normal Persian rugs. Gabbeh is mostly weaved by Qashqai women. They are made by handspun wool and the yarns are dyed using organic plant dyes. Weavers never use pre-designed patterns. They weave the pattern by heart and improvise as the work goes along. Most of their carpets are inspired by nature and their life stories. Perhaps it’s because of such creativity that nomadic carpets are considered a perfect example of a work of art.
