Persian Gabbeh Loribaft, Wool Hand Knotted Area Rug, RRH126

Gabbeh knotted rugs are a type of traditional Persian rug known for their simplicity, bold colors, and thick, hand-knotted wool pile. Originating from the nomadic tribes of southwestern Iran, particularly the Qashqai and Luri people, these rugs are characterized by their abstract, often geometric designs and minimalistic patterns.

Unlike other Persian rugs that focus on intricate, detailed motifs, Gabbeh rugs emphasize a more rustic and artistic aesthetic, often depicting symbolic representations of nature, animals, and everyday tribal life. The wool used in Gabbeh rugs is typically high-quality and hand-dyed with natural vegetable dyes, giving them a rich, vibrant color palette. Their plush texture and unique charm make them popular in contemporary interior design, offering a blend of cultural heritage and modern appeal.
