Gabbeh translates literally to 'uncut' or 'unfinished.' Gabbehs are used by the Quashqai people to sleep on. The weavers use a lot of creativity in making these rugs, and many tell a story. We are now seeing extremely fine gabbehs, woven very tightly, much like Quashquli carpets, with beautifully simple floral patterns and wonderful vegetable dyed colors. These rugs are sometimes called 'ris baft.' 'Ris' translates to 'small, ' and 'baft' is 'woven.' So these carpets are woven with the 'small' knot, meaning very fine and tight. What is Worldstock?
