The gabbeh loom carpet is a handmade carpet that carries bright colors. Mostly you can recognize the gabbeh rugs by the coarse weaving technique and the animal motifs, which are worked into the carpet. The sheep and goat wool is processed with natural and strong dyes. The Gabbeh belongs to the carpets that were made by nomads and used for several purposes. The Gabbeh carpet is despite the coarse weave / loom a very soft carpet and fits wonderfully in the bedroom, hallway, and living room. The popularity of Gabbeh carpets increased enormously in the 90s.
Lovely rug - really well made, lovely and soft. Not exactly the same as the picture - uses a cream weave around the edges instead of blue, and the dogs are dark brown instead of blue, which is even better! Wish they still had the bigger sizes in stock.. Heather. Cheam, GB. Sun Dec 14 2025
