The
word Gabbeh means hoarse or rough or unclipped in Persian. They are
woolen hand knotted carpets known for their tribal origin and patterns.
Gabbeh rugs have bold color in bold tribal patterns. Patterns are
strongly influenced by the life and style of herdsmen and nomadic
tribes.
The patterns are simple and uncluttered with the geometric
representations of human and animal, large fields, bold stripes or
geometric shapes or a combination of them. Due to their design style and
color scheming, they suit the modern abstract art requirements of the
furnishings. The scenes of rolling hills and colorful flower fields
depicted with little detail and in deep colors--crimson reds, cobalt
blues, rust and olive green--are soothing to the eyes.
The carpet has a tough construction. Piles are of the hand spun goat
and sheep wool. Soft wool is preferred. They are made on horizontal as
well as vertical looms. The wrap, weft and the pile yarn are dyed with
natural colors.
