Hand-knotted Vintage Shiraz Gabbeh Rug, 6’5″x3’8″, Code:1004

This panel black Shiraz rug has a simplicity in design and its theme seems primitive with geometric motifs and small plants. The structure and pile of this rug are made from fine, lustrous wool from local sheep. The colours are achieved using natural vegetable and root dyes, and the weavers, who are known for their simplicity and gentleness, prefer bright, lively colours to add enchantment to their homes. These rugs are unique and priceless treasures, taking months to complete and no two are exactly the same, as each rug is a self-expression of the individual weaver without the use of designs or blueprints.
