Gabbeh

This colourful bag from the Shiras region of Iran is an exquisite example of traditional nomadic art. The central section features a cross motif surrounded by stylised flower shapes and geometric elements. The warm red tones, combined with blue, orange and cream, give the bag a lively and harmonious appearance. The finely woven edge frame complements the design with a rich floral border that creates a lively contrast to the central pattern. The dense, hand-knotted wool pile ensures a robust and durable quality. This bag, originally used by nomads as storage, is now a sought-after decorative piece that adds a touch of Persian tradition to any room. The light patina and minor signs of wear add to the authenticity of this special piece.
