It Makes Me Imagine Faraway Iran / 2023-09-05

No.487

After moving home, the Gabbeh we had used at the entrance no longer fitted, so we bought this one.

Our previous rug was a standard, more loosely woven piece. This one is exceptionally fine, with a supple feel underfoot that is rather different from what I had associated with Gabbeh rugs.

I love the colours and design too. The undyed light brown has such a natural feel that it makes me imagine faraway Iran.

I would like to order another piece when the opportunity arises. Thank you for sending such a lovely rug.

From the shop: We understand that feeling of being transported to Iran. Finer weaving allows more detailed colour gradations and motifs, perhaps making the design feel more vivid and evocative.
