Description

This charming little gabbeh has an indigo-blue field containing what look like stylised figures, surrounded by small quadrupeds - deer or gazelle. Gabbehs were used in the black tents for everyday use and when worn out, were simply discarded. Because of this, there are few surviving antique gabbehs now and they have become quite collectible.

Size: 1.37 x 0.76m (4' 6" x 2' 6").

FAQs

Gabbeh rugs are traditionally coarse, hand-knotted pile carpets made by nomadic tribes in southwestern Persia, particularly the Qashqai and Luri peoples, historically woven for personal domestic use rather than export.

Authentic pieces are constructed entirely from hand-spun sheeps wool for both the foundation warp and weft as well as the plush pile, utilising natural plant-based and mineral dyes such as indigo and madder root.

Authenticity is identified by irregularities in the weave and geometry, natural abrash colour variations from hand-dyeing batches, hand-finished selvedges, and genuine wear consistent with age rather than modern synthetic facsimiles.

An antique tribal runner provides tactile warmth and narrative depth, functioning effectively as a grounded focal point over hard flooring or layered atop a larger neutral sisal carpet in living spaces or hallways.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without rotary beater bars, professional hand-washing by specialists in antique textiles, and maintaining stable indoor humidity away from direct prolonged sunlight to protect natural fibres and dyes.
