Additional Information:

Made by tribal people for commercial purposes, these rugs have an abundance of artistic expression – they have a tribal soul.

Gabbeh Rugs are generally made by the Qashqai, Luri, and a few other tribal groups.

The term “Gabbeh” refers to a style of weaving. The Gabbeh Modern Rugs are thick pile rugs with modern patterns often featuring little goat-like creatures. These rugs are sometimes plain, sometimes jazzy patterns.

The Gabbeh Modern Rugs have a thick wool pile formed by hand-tied knots tied onto wool warps.
