This charming antique Bakhtiari Gabbeh rug exemplifies the authentic artistry of traditional Persian weaving. Originating from the mountainous Bakhtiari region of Iran, this Gabbeh is distinguished by its coarse weave and plush, thick pile, offering exceptional softness and comfort underfoot.
Crafted from high-quality handspun wool, this rug features the unique Gabbeh characteristic of multiple wefts between knot rows, enhancing both durability and texture. Originally made not for commercial purposes but for tribal, practical use, Gabbehs like this were often used as sleeping mattresses or warm blankets, showcasing the rug’s functional and artistic heritage.
What sets Bakhtiari Gabbehs apart is the freedom of design granted to the weavers. This piece reflects that spontaneity and expression, incorporating vibrant earth tones and geometric motifs inspired by nature and tribal symbolism. The result is a one-of-a-kind rug imbued with cultural identity and personal narrative.
Whether placed in a rustic, bohemian, or eclectic interior, this rare Persian Gabbeh is both a functional textile and a collector’s treasure, celebrating centuries-old traditions in every stitch.

I have no hesitation in recommending Sharifi & Co. He is an expert on carpets and kilims and clearly loves and appreciates them. His company washed, repaired and moth proofed my beautiful Uzbek kilim within a very short time. Thank you very much Sharifi & Co.

It was a great pleasure doing business with Mr. Sharafi, he knows and loves rugs and that is reflected in the excellent work he has done restoring and repairing mine. They’re looking lovely (and I promise I’ll take good care of them!) Thank you.

Looking for someone who specialises in cleaning persian rugs is like walking a minefield. Thank goodness I found Sharafi. I knew I was on the right track when I heard the National Trust gets their antique rugs done there. Ok no more drinking red wine on valuable heirloom…
