General Information

 Gabbeh carpets are a traditional variety of Persian carpet. A gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug of coarse quality characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. This type of rug is popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran. The gabbeh is usually crafted by women.

Gabbeh carpets are much thicker and coarser than other Persian carpets; sometimes they can be as much as one inch or 2.5 cm in depth.

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 colors, such as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid color are used in gabbeh designs, the color is variegated (the color varies throughout the rug, with the appearance of differently colored zones).

Gabbehs are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye. Due to its relative ease of production (less precise pattern, small number of knots per square centimeter, etc.) a gabbeh is one of the less expensive varieties of Persian carpet.

Every carpet is thoroughly checked and quality controlled during the import process. So when purchasing one of our carpets or rugs, you can expect a beautifully hand crafted “work of art” that, if lovingly cared for and used, can last a lifetime. They bring a feel and warmth to a room that is hard to match, but then you probably already know that.
