Modern in expression yet rooted in tradition, this 8x11 hand-knotted Indo Gabbeh wool rug features a high 0.75-inch pile that creates a thick, cushioned surface with a contemporary feel. The design emphasizes color and texture over ornament, expressed through broad horizontal bands in deep aqua blue, warm gold, and rich raspberry. Rather than sharp divisions, the colors blend softly into one another, producing a subtle gradient that adds movement and depth. This restrained, abstract approach reflects modern Gabbeh design, where mood and rhythm take precedence over detail. Finished with hand-knotted fringe ends and supported by a cotton foundation, the rug offers artisanal character alongside clean, modern styling. Ideal for modern living rooms, creative spaces, or relaxed bedrooms, it brings warmth and visual balance without overwhelming the space.

Story Behind the Art: Indo-Gabbeh rugs are expressive, rustic floor coverings from India inspired by the nomadic tribal textiles of southwestern Iran. The word Gabbeh translates to “raw” or “unclipped,” a fitting description for their signature thick, cushioned pile and free-spirited folk-art character. These rugs are admired for their minimalist compositions, often showcasing stylized animals, symbolic trees of life, or simple geometric forms set within expansive fields of richly variegated color known as abrash. Originally woven as practical bedding for nomadic life, Gabbeh rugs have evolved into globally sought-after statement pieces valued as modern art for the floor. Hand-knotted with heavy, hand-spun wool and natural dyes, Indo-Gabbeh rugs seamlessly blend ancient storytelling with contemporary minimalist design.
