This antique Persian tribal Gabbeh long rug originates from the early 20th century, dating to 1920. Hand-knotted from wool and animal hair, the piece presents a cream and brown palette with a simplistic uncluttered five joined geometric diamond medallion pattern set against a natural coloured ivory field, accompanied by a detailed geometric border and a central pole motif. Additional visible details include herringbone coloured side cords, a signature in Farsi on the upper right side, and a low even pile with good side cords and fringes. Measuring 239 cm high, 117 cm wide, and 1 cm deep, this item is suitable for placement as a floor covering in living spaces, hallways, or bedrooms within a home today, bringing a Glastonbury Boho style to interior settings.

FAQs

Gabbeh rugs are traditional hand-knotted carpets crafted by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes in south-western Iran, predominantly the Qashqai and Luri peoples. Historically woven for personal utility rather than commercial trade, they feature thick wool pile, coarse weaving techniques, and minimalist or geometric designs.

Authentic Gabbeh carpets are constructed entirely from hand-spun sheep wool, utilised for both the pile and the foundation warp and weft. The wool is dyed using natural plant and mineral sources, although undyed natural sheep wool in cream, beige, and brown tones is also widely incorporated.

Authentic Gabbeh rugs feature hand-tied asymmetric knots visible on the reverse side, natural variations in dye shading known as abrash, and slight irregularities in shape. They typically display heavy, dense wool construction with bold folk-art motifs rather than intricate, symmetrical city patterns.

A tribal Gabbeh rug works as a grounding textural accent in minimalist, rustic, or eclectic spaces. Position the piece in hallways, entryways, or adjacent to seating areas to contrast against polished timber, stone, or concrete flooring.

Vacuum the rug regularly using suction only to avoid damaging hand-knotted fibres. Spot-clean liquid spills immediately with an undyed cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding chemical detergents, and arrange professional hand-washing by a rug restoration specialist every few years.
