Charming
Bakhtiari Gabbeh rug. This piece has shiny, soft wool, which has been naturally dyed. The squares and shrub motifs have been playfully scattered in the field and framed with a simple multicoloured border. The whole piece is finished off with striped kilims, the ends of which have been knotted in bunches. While this is a production piece with high-quality wool in dying of which natural dyes have been used, the weaver has been given a free hand to express herself. The weaving technique for this type of rug is complicated, and to achieve such a high-quality finish, you need an experienced weaver. While there is a large production of Gabbehs because of the weave’s complexity, the
Bakhtiari Gabbeh production is small and not easily found on the market.
