Pakistan's carpet-weaving provinces, drawing on the nomadic Gabbeh tradition transplanted from southwestern Iran, have refined a vocabulary of elemental abstraction — bold fields, raw colour, and an intentional looseness of hand that distinguishes tribal expression from courtly precision.
This new, hand-knotted wool Gabbeh, measuring 183x283 cm, presents a composition of striking graphic clarity: a warm, moss-inflected olive-brown ground hosts seven horizontal bands that alternate between deep madder crimson and undyed ivory, each bar deliberately offset in length rather than spanning the full width, creating an asymmetric, staggered rhythm that recalls the improvisational instinct of the weaver's eye rather than a mechanically imposed grid.
The palette is austere yet rich — the crimson carries the saturated depth of natural dye tradition, the ivory retains the organic warmth of unbleached wool, and the olive field reads differently under incandescent and natural light, shifting between khaki and amber. A single narrow crimson terminal stripe anchors the lower border without elaboration. This is a piece that commands a room through restraint — suited to interiors where architectural line and material warmth are in dialogue, and where a rug is understood as an object of considered making rather than decoration.
Motif & Symbolic Elements
Unadorned rectilinear horizontal stripes of varying width, deliberately offset from the edges to create a floating, painterly rhythm; no secondary motifs or border ornamentation beyond a single terminal stripe

Why Pure Wool & Silk Outperform Viscose Imitations
Many modern rugs substitute wood-pulp viscose or polyester for silk—fibres that flatten and watermark from a single drop of water. We use only natural wool and silk.
Water-Safe Natural Silk & Wool
Real mulberry and bamboo silk paired with lanolin-rich wool clean safely without stiffening or yellowing.
Natural Lanolin Soil Shield
Light ivory, oat, and stone tones stay clean because dry soil sits on the fibre surface until vacuumed.
Zero VOCs for Barefoot Living
Free from synthetic adhesives and plastic yarns for healthier indoor air and barefoot comfort.
