Gabbeh & Contemporary

Gabbeh (also Gabbe, Gabbeh), known for their primitive patterns and rustic charm, mostly hand-knotted by nomads and semi-nomadic members of the Kashgai tribe in south-western Iran, though Chobi Gabbehs have been made in Afghanistan and Pakistan for a while. They have a very simple design, often featuring small animals and other figures on a plain background. Hand knotted with 100% pure wool pile, warp and weft, their coarse knotting gives a thick pile and heavy construction. 

Dhurries are a flat-woven rug from India, usually made of cotton, wool or more contemporarily with recycled sari silk.
