Iran is the greatest rug-making country in the world, and the art of designing and weaving rugs dates back to ancient Persia. Today, Iran is the largest handmade rug producer, and 80 percent of their carpets goes to the international market.
Gabbeh Carpets
We are particulary proud to have on display a collection of high quality Gabbeh rugs, including those from the award-winning Zollanvari. Zollanvari and other rug producers have given the best wool and vegetable dyes to tribal women weavers in southern Iran, allowing them to continue creating their wonderful folk-like designs and colors, while someone else handles the exports.
