Gabbeh

This 5'9" × 8'9" Gabbeh rug is a bold and expressive Persian hand-knotted piece with a warm tribal personality. The rich red field gives the rug strength and energy, while the ivory central medallion creates a clear focal point. Small geometric and animal-inspired motifs are scattered across the field, giving the design a playful, personal, and handmade character. The deep navy border, accented with gold, ivory, blue, and red details, frames the rug with strong tribal rhythm.

The design of this Gabbeh feels simple at first glance, but it carries a lot of meaning. Gabbeh rugs are known for their minimal, symbolic, and story-like patterns, often inspired by nature, animals, daily life, and the imagination of the weaver. The small motifs across the red field give the rug movement and charm, while the bold central shape adds balance and structure. Its warm colors and strong graphic design make it perfect for a living room, bedroom, office, library, or cozy sitting area.

Gabbeh rugs originate from the tribal and nomadic weaving traditions of southwestern Persia, especially among Qashqai and Luri weavers. Traditionally, Gabbehs were woven for personal use, often with thicker wool, softer texture, and more spontaneous designs than formal city rugs. Because of this, each Gabbeh feels very individual—more like a personal expression than a strict pattern.

Hand-knotted from wool, this rug offers natural warmth, softness, and durability. The wool pile gives it a comfortable texture underfoot, while the handmade construction gives the design depth and authenticity. More than simply a floor covering, this Gabbeh rug brings Persian tribal art, warmth, simplicity, and character into the home.
