The unusual size of this amazing Qashqai Gabbeh is one of the first things to mention. Woven in south-west Persia, it has a very minimalistic, modern-looking design, created entirely from hand-spun wool in its natural colours, without the use of any dyes.
The pattern plays with squares, chequerboards, fine lines and small stylised animals and trees, all framed by a generous plain border. The natural shades of ivory, grey and brown give the carpet its quiet beauty, with subtle variations in the wool bringing life to the surface.
Making a Gabbeh of this size is demanding, particularly because of the weight of its very thick pile and dense weave. It is a substantial, 100% wool piece, with a beautiful simplicity that could give a room a very distinctive character. An amazing decorative carpet to enjoy over many years, gaining beauty and character as it ages.
