Gabbeh rugs are known for their primitive patterns and rustic charm, mostly hand-knotted by nomads and semi-nomadic members of the Kashgai tribe in south-west Persia. They have a very simple design, often featuring small animals and other figures on the background. Hand knotted with 100% pure wool pile, warp and weft, their course knotting gives a thick pile and a heavy construction. This piece is an example of a chequered Gabbeh, where mailny reds, greys and bowns are used to compose the pattern. It can easily be used as a hearth rug, door mat or a small area rug.
