The characteristics of Gabbeh rugs is that they typically have a thick, long pile height as well as tribal patterns which have a modern vibe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGabbeh rugs originated in south west Persia and were woven by tribal groups such as the Qashqa'i, Lori and Khamseh nomads. The nomads wove various types of Gabbeh rugs, however it is the thick piled Gabbeh rugs that have become renowned. These thick rugs served as ground coverings in-place of felt pads, and were used to level Persia’s rugged, stone-covered terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis modern luxury Indian Gabbeh interpretation captures the essence of pastoral life through simple, playful designs that features geometric patterns alongside stylised plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow was this 12x9 Gabbeh carpet made?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Indian Gabbeh carpet was handmade in Rajasthan, India. It was made by an age-old weaving method of hand-knotting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tuft of pile is formed by a knot. The weaver creates the knot by securing a tuft of yarn (either wool or silk in this case) onto pairs of warp threads. The cotton warps were the first materials attached to the loom. These warps run longitudinally on the loom. The weaver ties the knots in rows across the width of the loom and follows this by interspersing wefts between the warp threads. The wefts are then beaten firmly against the preceding row of knots. Each knot works like a pixel in determining the colours and pattern of the rug. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey details:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of origin: India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSize: 366×273cm \/ 12’0″x9’0″ \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThickness: 12mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePile: Wool and Silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWarp: Cotton\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAge: New\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58081601814859,"sku":"TORM-1036-LARGE HANDMADE LUXURY GABBEH CARPET-366 X 273CM","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1070\/3113\/4539\/files\/Gabbeh-lux-3.66x2.73m-MAIN.jpg?v=1786283471","url":"https:\/\/theorientalrugmerchant.co.uk\/products\/large-handmade-luxury-gabbeh-carpet","provider":"The Oriental Rug Merchant Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
