The Gabeh rugs are woven by the Qashquai (kashkai) tribe in Southern Persia. They are the Turkic Tribe and the most important, most advanced and the most prosperous of the tribes of FARS. They are also the best weavers. They are almost completely nomadic, and during eight months of the year they inhabit, in their black goat's hair tents, a high belt of country which extends for about 150 miles northwards. In the autumn they move from highlands to the warmer coastal country which lies west, southwest and south of Shiraz.
In the olden days the Gabeh rugs were only produced for their own domestic use. During the 1980's the western dealers discovered these simple rugs, with their abstract designs, which were very good for accompanying the new and modern furnishing and decor. During the last part of the 20th century, these rugs were the best sellers, worldwide.
Choosing the right rug can transform a room by adding warmth, texture, comfort, and character. Use this simple guide to help choose the right rug for your space, lifestyle, and interior style.
Select a rug size that fits your room comfortably while leaving enough visible floor space around the edges. Larger rugs help create a more open look, while smaller rugs work well as accent pieces.
Choose colours and patterns that complement your furniture and interior style. Neutral rugs create a timeless look, while bold designs can become statement pieces.
Different rug materials offer different benefits depending on your needs and lifestyle.
| Material | Benefits |
