Gabbeh weaving from the nomadic tribes of southern Iran has always operated outside the conventions of formal Persian rug design, and the pictorial tradition within it produces work that looks like a painted narrative rendered in wool. The field here is a composition of sweeping coral and red grounds meeting a blue gray sky in the upper register, with a large abstract ivory form rising through the center and a cast of birds, animals and organic figures distributed across the surface with the kind of loose, storytelling energy that defines the best pictorial Gabbeh work. Gold, teal, black, peach and blush appear throughout, each element drawn with bold outlines and filled with flat vegetable dyed color in a way that gives the whole composition a graphic immediacy. A warm tan border frames the scene, and the plush wool pile on a cotton foundation gives the colors a warmth and presence that the depth of hand knotted construction makes possible.

Story Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs were originally made by women from tribes in the south-west of Persia. Gabbeh literally means unclipped, a reference to the shagginess of the pile. Rustic simplicity and indeed a certain willfulness of design give the rugs an unaffected freshness which is most sought after, especially for use in modern decor. Original designs were very basic with only a limited number of decorative patterns, mostly geometric mix of objects resembling animals, humans (kids) or trees (abstracts), coarsely knotted with brightly colored wool. Tree designs crop up time and again in nomadic weaves. Their form is never standardized. Asymmetric and symmetric knots are often used in the same rug. But with their natural woolly texture, thickness, and extreme durability along with unique designs, they have enjoyed popularity through the ages. In modern era, Pakistan and India have emerged as popular producers of this nomadic flooring.
