Traditional Persian Shiraz Gabbeh Craftsmanship

The Shiraz region of southern Persia is celebrated for its distinctive tradition of handmade tribal rugs.

Traditional Gabbeh rugs are admired for their individuality, expressive geometric motifs and natural wool textures.

This example combines traditional tribal weaving with a decorative three-medallion composition, creating a rug full of character and artistic interest.

Unlike formal city carpets, tribal rugs often reflect the individual creativity and cultural traditions of their weavers.

Three Linked Geometric Medallions

One of the most attractive features of this rug is its three linked medallion design.

The geometric composition creates a strong decorative centrepiece, giving the rug a balanced yet expressive tribal appearance.

Traditional geometric motifs are particularly appealing in both rustic and contemporary interiors, where they can add warmth, pattern and individuality.

The design makes this rug especially suitable for customers seeking an authentic Persian tribal piece rather than a formal floral carpet.

Very Fine Hand-Spun Wool and Natural Dyes

This Persian Shiraz Gabbeh rug has been traditionally hand-knotted using very fine hand-spun wool on a wool foundation.

Hand-spun wool gives tribal rugs their distinctive natural texture and individual character.

The use of natural dyes contributes to the rug's traditional decorative appeal.

Its all-wool construction provides natural warmth and resilience, making it a practical furnishing choice for everyday domestic use.

Good Vintage Condition

Approximately 30–40 years old, this rug is in good condition with even wear and a good wool pile.

It has been professionally hand-washed and is clean and ready for immediate use or display.

The rug is described as suitable for heavy domestic use, making it an attractive option for family homes as well as more formal interiors.
