Persian GABBEH carpet. Tradition and craftsmanship

by Carl Suárez Nuckley

We share a short excerpt (2:42min) from a short documentary film about the making of authentic Persian Gabbeh carpets handmade by real nomads. It's excellent! These are the Persian carpets known worldwide as Gabbeh,

In case you haven't heard of them, Persian Gabbeh rugs are true artisanal gems that captivate the senses and embellish any space. Originally from Iran, these rugs stand out for their beauty, quality and tradition.

The term "Gabbeh" literally means "raw" or "uncut" in the Persian language. This name reflects the distinctive feature of these rugs: their long, uncut pile. This gives them a rustic and natural appearance that sets them apart from other more formal and elaborate Persian rugs.

Gabbeh rugs are handwoven by skilled artisans, using ancient techniques passed down through generations. Each piece is unique and reflects the talent and dedication of its creator. Gabbeh rug designs are simple yet striking, with geometric patterns and vibrant colors that capture the essence of Persian culture.

These rugs are appreciated not only for their beauty, but also for their durability. Thanks to high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship, Gabbeh rugs are durable and can last for generations with proper care.
