Discover the charm of the Vintage Persian Qashqai Gabbeh Rug, measuring 1.4 by 2 metres, a genuine handwoven piece crafted by the Qashqai tribal artisans from the Fars Province of Persia. This rug is distinguished by its thick hand-spun wool construction and coarser knotting, offering a robust texture typical of traditional Gabbeh rugs.
The rug features a striking geometric design with zigzag patterns in retro hues including olive green, mustard, red, and ivory set against a rich navy-blue background. A notable characteristic is the "Abrash" effect, where natural variations in the wool’s dye batches create subtle tonal stripes within the colours, adding depth and uniqueness to the piece.
Handmade on a wool foundation using vegetable dyes, this vintage Gabbeh rug showcases the authentic craftsmanship of the Shiraz region. Its fringed edges further highlight its traditional appeal. The rug’s medium size makes it a versatile addition to various living spaces such as bedrooms or living rooms, where it can introduce warmth and a distinctive style.
As a one-of-a-kind item, the Vintage Persian Qashqai Gabbeh Rug requires proper care to preserve its quality and longevity. Its natural materials and handmade nature make it a durable yet delicate floor covering that complements both classic and contemporary interiors.
