Gabbeh 295×196

Gabbeh rugs, knotted in Iran and India, mean "raw" in Farsi and embody a simple, rustic rug style. Since the early 1990s, their popularity has been growing as a more relaxed alternative to traditional Persian rugs, which are associated with formal interior design. Gabbehs are characterised by a thick, luxurious pile, diverse colours and cool geometric and animal motifs, often abstract or representational with depictions of animals or people. Usually made of wool on wool, they vary in size from small mats to large rugs and fit into any room in the house.
