Tree Of Life on Natural Wool Color 5x8 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.

The tree of life is ancient symbol in Persian art and literature. It is said to represent the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds by the means in which a tree exists: rooted deep into the ground, existing as a object on the plane of existence, and reaching for the divine into the heavens. It also serves as metaphor for life and fertility signified by its renewal with the seasons and abundance with fruiting trees. Very often paired with birds, themselves seen as messengers of the divine.

Hand-woven using undyed wool in its natural state produces these rugs illustrating the spectrum of tones found in any group of sheep. Ranging from ivory and creme tones, to brown and grays, even blueish black, which can either be used individually or blended in the hand spinning process for a heather gray yarn.
