Karam Hand-knotted Wool Rug

Gabbeh-style rugs are identified by their saturated colors and playful imagery. Often with thick frame borders, like a painting, these thick, soft pieces depict a rich and sophisticated sense of color, telling stories with idiosyncratic geometric details in an abyss of saturated, dappled monochrome. Karam has a field of striated coral populated with various zoomorphic creatures-most likely sheep-in different hues, who are surrounded by a fence-border of dainty triangles.
