Gabbeh 239×172

Gabbeh rugs, from the Persian word for "raw", are sturdy rugs hand-knotted in Iran and India. Having grown in popularity since the early 1990s, they offer a relaxed alternative to traditional Persian rugs. With thick pile, rich colours and cool geometric or animal motifs, they go well with more rustic interiors. Often made of wool, they range from small mats to large rugs and are suitable for any room. Their patterns can be abstract or representational, often featuring animals or people.
