Gabbeh rugs were traditionally woven to be used by the weavers themselves.
Because the relatively simple designs lend themselves well to contemporary
décor, they have now become somewhat chic as floor coverings
in Europe and the U.S.. Traditionally, a rug made to be used by the
weaver would have been woven quickly with large knots and lower quality
materials since it's purpose was use, not income. Since the U.S. lifted
the embargo of Iranian rugs we have seen many of these Gabbeh rugs
appear on the market. Orient has Iranian Gabbeh rugs which are woven
very fine and with the highest quality Iranian wool available. The
finished rugs are as plush, and the wool as silky as the most finely
woven decorative Persian rugs.
