Golden Orange 5x7 Shekarlou Gabbeh

Gabbeh rugs have their origins in the nomadic world of Persian herders. Made using hand-spun wool and dyes produced from natural plant and vegetable sources, our authentic Gabbeh rugs are among the most holistic choices for living spaces. Prized for their uniqueness and durable quality as working textiles, each Gabbeh is a one of a kind glimpse into a world unto itself. We have the finest selection of Gabbeh rugs in the Pacific Northwest.

Shekarlou type Gabbeh rugs often feature high knot counts and patterns of a rectangle with alternating colors within and implying a border, or a gradient of color within the ombre. This subset of the Greater Qashqaii tribal group originate from the Fars Province in Southwest Persia. These rugs are said to be made with the idea of capturing an emotion or feeling as opposed to the more literal landscape style Kashkuli and traditional Luri rugs

The golden yellow color in these rugs can be produced using dyes made from saffron, turmeric, buckthorn (Persian) berries, and even pistachio shells all resulting in different yellow hues ranging from golden and buttery to bright and almost electric.

The Orange tones are the result of using dyes made from such things as the rinds of pomegranates, onion skins, and also previously run batches of red as they become less concentrated.
