Description

The wool on this gorgeous little bag, knotted in gabbeh technique, is amazingly soft and glossy.
Made by Lori-Bakhtiari tribes in the Boyer Ahmad region of western Persia circa 1920s, the field design reminds me of a Rothko painting. Maybe Rothko was inspired by the minimalistic gabbehs of the Lori-Bakhtiari tribes back then! The colours, like the wool, are amazing - saturated green, golden-yellow, aubergine, red, blue and ivory make up the face of the bag - the back in narrow, horizointal bands of the same colours used on the front.
Size: 26 x 23cm (10" x 9").
Viewing by appointment only.
