{"product_id":"aqua-handknotted-wool-orh21183","title":"5'5''x5'5'' Round Hand Knotted Wool Aqua Gold Gabbeh Modern \u0026 Contemporary Pictorial Plush Pile Rug","description":"Joyful simplicity radiates from this hand knotted Gabbeh rug, where tiny stylized figures and animals dance across a rich teal blue field in delightful asymmetry. The whimsical pictorial elements (people, trees, goats, and abstract symbols rendered in vibrant orange, gold, and black) create a playful narrative that reflects the spontaneous creativity of nomadic tribal weavers. The plush wool pile provides exceptional softness underfoot, while the hand knotted construction on a cotton foundation ensures this piece will endure through years of use. The circular format and minimalist composition give this rug a surprisingly modern sensibility despite its ancient tribal roots, making it work beautifully in contemporary interiors that need personality and warmth. Each motif has been individually knotted by hand, preserving the authentic aesthetic that makes genuine Gabbeh rugs feel like folk art you can walk on. The generous ivory fringe adds traditional finishing detail and frames the saturated blue field with clean contrast. \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExact Size: 5'5\"x5'5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeave: Hand Knotted Rug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn: Wool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Aqua, Gold, Black, Orange\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Iran\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePile Height: 1 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: New \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition Description: New With Tags\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRug#: ORH21183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cp\u003eStory Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs were originally made by women from tribes in the south-west of Persia.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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52386945892645,"sku":"ORH21183","price":999.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1141\/7716\/files\/A199A8946.jpg?v=1779102227","url":"https:\/\/orientalrugofhouston.com\/products\/aqua-handknotted-wool-orh21183","provider":"Oriental Rug Of Houston","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
