History of Gabbeh Rugs

Gabbeh rugs are a type of flat-woven rug originating from the nomadic tribes of southwestern Iran and southeastern Iraq. They are known for their simple, geometric designs and bold use of color.  

  • Origin: Gabbeh rugs are believed to have originated in the Zagros Mountains, a region known for its harsh climate and nomadic lifestyle.  
  • Traditional Techniques: Traditionally, Gabbeh rugs are woven by nomadic women using natural dyes and simple weaving techniques. The designs often incorporate symbolic motifs and geometric patterns inspired by the surrounding landscape and their nomadic lifestyle.  
  • Characteristics: Gabbeh rugs are typically characterized by their bold, abstract designs, vibrant colors, and thick, textured pile. They often feature simple geometric shapes, such as squares, triangles, and diamonds.  
  • Modern Interpretation: Today, Gabbeh rugs are produced both by nomadic weavers and by established workshops, with variations in design and technique.
