The Persian Gabbeh Tribal Wool Rug, measuring 90 x 60 cm (2.95 x 1.97 ft), features a primary color of brown with brown secondary accents.
History and Origin: Gabbeh rugs originate from the tribal communities of southwestern Iran, particularly the Qashqai and Luri tribes. Known for their simplicity and bold colors, Gabbeh rugs like this one often feature geometric patterns and symbolic motifs. Crafted from hand-spun wool and dyed with natural pigments, Gabbeh rugs reflect the nomadic lifestyle and cultural heritage of the tribes. The small size of this Gabbeh rug suggests it was used for practical purposes within nomadic tents, serving as a floor covering or even as a saddlebag.
