***Interest-free payment terms available***

This superb very long original Iranian blue and yellow "Qashqai Gabbeh" pure wool runner carpet measures a very decent 367cm long x 75cm wide. A Gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality characterised by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of colour and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai people. The gabbeh is usually crafted by women. Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. In gabbeh usually bright colours, such as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid colour are used in gabbeh designs, the colour is variegated (the colour varies throughout the rug, with the appearance of differently coloured zones). Gabbehs are made of natural, hand spun wool yarn and all the colours are created with natural plant dye. There is minor age and usage related wear and tear. Please view the pics carefully to fully appreciate this stunning Iranian Gabbeh carpet and to confirm the condition.
