Story Behind The Art: Gabbeh rugs are among the most expressive types of Persian carpets, woven by tribal groups such as the Qashqai in southwestern Iran. These rugs are characterized by their thick pile, bold primary colors, and simple, often whimsical patterns. Rather than following precise templates, Gabbeh weavers work from memory or emotion, resulting in pieces that feel personal and soulful. Common motifs include animals, people, and landscapes, all rendered in a naive, artistic style. The high wool content and straightforward designs make Gabbeh rugs especially cozy, grounding, and full of personality.
