A navy block set inside a wide camel frame gives this Gabbeh rug a modern, artful layout. The rug features tiny red, brown and black symbols scattered through the sand-colored border, with fine stripes and a zigzag edge at the corners. Up close, the shaggy wool pile looks soft and thick. This hand-knotted wool rug is a modern area rug with a dense pile that wears well and vacuums easily. If you want a bold color block with a handmade feel, this Gabbeh rug is a smart choice.

Story Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs were originally made by women from tribes in the south-west of Persia.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.
