Handmade Bakhtiari Gabbeh Rug 2010s 198 x 162cm (6.5 x 5.3ft)

This naturally dyed Bakhtiari Gabbeh rug is a warm and expressive piece that brings colour, texture, and character into the home. Woven from soft handspun wool, it has a rich, tactile feel that reflects the care and time invested in its making. The surface is decorated with playful square and shrub motifs, arranged freely across the field rather than following strict symmetry. This relaxed layout gives the rug a sense of movement and individuality, making it feel personal and alive. A multicoloured border frames the design neatly, adding balance without overpowering the central pattern. At both ends, the rug is finished with striped kilim panels and tied wool fringes. These details highlight the maker’s skill and add to the handmade character of the piece. While produced within a small workshop setting, the weaver was given creative freedom, meaning no two rugs are ever exactly the same. The natural dyes have settled beautifully over time, creating soft cream and red tones that feel warm and inviting. Durable yet comfortable underfoot, this Gabbeh works especially well in a sitting room or children’s space where both comfort and style matter. This is not just a decorative rug but a quiet statement piece, carrying a sense of tradition, individuality, and everyday luxury.
