LoomBloom 5x7'5'' Red Ivory Gabbeh Hand Knotted Traditional Wool Oriental Area Rug

Love color and texture? This red and ivory Gabbeh wool rug gives you both in one bold package. The saturated red ground sets off a central ivory medallion with a teal starburst glowing at its heart. Around it wind curving vines in rust, cream, sage and dusty pink, and slate blue spandrels sit in the corners under a scrolling ivory border. Knotted by hand in thick wool on a cotton base and sheared level, the dense pile feels solid and cozy, with a short natural fringe at both ends. The floral design is inspired by classic Persian carpets, while the chunky Gabbeh knotting keeps the mood relaxed and welcoming. It slips easily into a living room, a bedroom, a dining room or a home office, and an entryway gets an instant lift. This traditional hand knotted rug is a warm, easygoing way to bring pattern and softness home, with enough presence to carry a whole room.

Story Behind the Art: Gabbeh rugs are rooted in the nomadic weaving traditions of southwestern Persia, where thick wool rugs were created with an emphasis on utility, spontaneous design, and expressive simplicity. The term Gabbeh is associated with an unclipped or shaggy surface, reflecting the substantial pile that traditionally distinguishes the style. Early patterns were often sparse and highly individual, with simple geometric forms joined by abstract trees, animals, human figures, and symbols inspired by everyday nomadic life. Rather than following rigid design templates, weavers frequently interpreted motifs freely, resulting in irregular spacing and an intentionally unpolished visual character. Both symmetrical and asymmetrical knotting techniques may be found within the broader tradition. Contemporary Gabbeh-inspired rugs continue to preserve this emphasis on thick wool texture, uncomplicated imagery, bold fields of color, and relaxed artistic expression.
