Gabbeh & Loribaf
Persian nomadic carpets, such as Gabbeh and Loribaf, are fascinating pieces of art that
reflect the cultural diversity and rich heritage of the Iranian people.
Gabbeh carpets are characterized by their vibrant colors and simple, often geometric patterns that represent the lifestyle and surroundings of nomadic tribes. They are typically handwoven by women and made from natural wool, giving them a durable yet soft feel.
On the other hand, the Loribaf carpet comes from the Lorestan region and is known for its fine craftsmanship and more intricate designs. These carpets combine traditional motifs with skilled knotting techniques, making them particularly valuable. Both types of carpets are not just functional items but also expressions of the identity and history of the nomadic peoples in Iran.
