Gabbeh Rugs
Arrediamo carries the largest selection of Persian Gabbeh carpets in the Southwest.Gabbeh carpets are made of natural, handspun wool yarn and all the colors are created with natural plant dye and these primitive carpets characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of color and a playfulness with geometry. Gabbeh patterns are of a very basic kind with only a limited number of decorative, mostly rectangular objects resembling mainly animals. In Gabbeh usually bright colors, such as yellow and red, are used. Although large fields of solid color are used in Gabbeh designs, the color is variegated (the color varies throughout the rug).The Gabbeh carpets come from the tribes of the Zagros mountains and are some of the most beautiful carpets produced.
The women of the Kurdish, Luri and Qashqai tribes are crafting these one of a kind pieces and take great pride in the quality of wool and dyes that go into each piece.
