Gabbeh Persian Rugs
Mar
Persian Gabbeh rugs represents a rough and primitive rug with patterns mostly made by the Ghashghai nomads of Fars province in southwestern Iran.
It used to be made of wool in both warp and weft, now of wool and cotton, and the yarns are dyed with vegetable dyes.
The carpets are much thicker than other Persian carpets, sometimes up to 2.5 cm thick. The pattern is of a simple type with only a few elements of decorative objects, mostly rectangular containing animals.
Indian weavers acted quickly to copy these carpets, but there is a big difference between a Persian carpet and an Indo Gabbeh carpet.
Mainly this can be determined by the quality of the wool you notice, the Persian variant is much softer and also much more durable, and the quality is much better.
