Simple, warm and modern, this hand-knotted Gabbeh-style rug shows just how much a single color can do. Showcased here is a solid red and rust field, without a border or pattern, so the color and texture take center stage. The tradition behind it comes from Qashqai and Luri weavers, who often kept their Gabbeh designs minimal and let the wool speak for itself. Gentle shifts between brick red and deep rust run across the surface, giving it a softly brushed look. It's a solid red rug that feels clean and modern while still clearly handmade.

Story Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs were originally made by women from tribes in the south-west of Persia.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