The Shiraz Gabbeh Rug is a distinctive antique textile originating from the Qashqai tribes of southern Persia. Measuring 1.35 by 1.05 metres, this handwoven rug showcases an unstructured mosaic design composed of irregular squares in rich, natural colours including indigo, ivory, saffron, brick red, moss green, and walnut brown.
This unique pattern reflects the artistic freedom inherent in Gabbeh weaving traditions, with each colour block placed to create a rhythmic yet spontaneous effect. The rug is framed by a chevron-inspired leaf border in alternating earthy tones, lending it an architectural presence that complements the vibrant central mosaic.
Crafted from thick, hand-spun wool, the rug features a high-pile texture that adds warmth and depth. Its compact size makes it versatile for various settings—ideal for layering over larger rugs, accentuating a reading nook, or as a decorative wall hanging that doubles as tribal folk art.
Perfect for smaller living spaces, entryways, or beside furniture, this collectible piece offers both functional use and cultural significance. The Shiraz Gabbeh Rug pairs well with minimalist or mid-century interiors, providing a bold contrast on light-toned floors and enhancing any space with its rich heritage and tactile appeal.
