Gabbeh Runner

Contemporary

£1,250

Description

Hand-woven by women using wool from the sheep they herded, these beautiful minimalistic nomadic rugs come from Southern Persia and the area of Shiraz.  Known as Gabbeh rugs, these were woven for their own use, and primarily as a mattress / bed, as the wool is so soft and the pile is denser than most hand-made rugs.

This Gabbeh runner was woven around 20-30 years ago and is still in excellent condition.  All washed and ready to be used again.

Gabbeh rugs and runners are nomadic rugs woven by the women of the Qashqai tribe in the Zagros mountains of South-West Persia. The word Gabbeh comes from Farsi and translated means raw, uncut or unfinished.  This references their primitive style and minimal designs, using often natural un-dyed wool and thick pile.

. . .

All our contemporary runners are hand-woven using the same traditional techniques of antique pieces.  Using soft quality wool is paramount to producing a durable decorative runner, woven all by hand and with natural plant dyes they are beautiful elegant runners.
