Thick, soft and plush, this hand-knotted wool rug feels just as good as it looks. Seen here is a gold Gabbeh-style field dotted with small animals and trees, framed by red and green corners and a jagged zigzag border. The long, dense pile is typical of Gabbeh weaving and gives the rug a cozy, cushioned feel underfoot. Gentle shading in the gold field shows the natural variation of hand-dyed wool. It's a handmade modern rug with plenty of warmth and personality.

Story Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs were originally made by women from tribes in the south-west of Persia.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