Indo-Gabbeh Stripe Burgundy

The Indo-Gabbeh weaving tradition draws directly from the raw, expressive village rugs of the Lori and Qashqai tribes of Fars Province, Iran, translated through Indian workshops into a form that retains tribal directness while achieving consistent pile depth and structural regularity.

This piece presents an unadorned field of alternating horizontal bands — deep plum-burgundy and a warmer terracotta-tinged dark red — spanning the full 130x193 cm format without border interruption, a compositional restraint that gives the surface an almost meditative rhythm; the hand-knotted wool pile introduces subtle tonal variation within each stripe, preventing flatness and lending the rug a living, slightly abrash quality reminiscent of naturally dyed village weavings. Raw fringe is retained at the upper selvage, an honest acknowledgment of the loom rather than an ornamental addition. This is a piece of considered austerity — one that brings weight and chromatic warmth to a contemporary interior without announcing itself.
