"Silk Road" - limited edition handmade wool rug
$ On Inquiry
A playful take on an ancient art form.
This Gabbeh Knot rug is a limited edition of ten art rugs, woven by Odabashian's network of family-owned weavers near Mirzapur, India with the finest New Zealand wool. This rug was shown at the 2017 Zona Maco Contemporary Art Fair in Mexico City.
Inspired by the traditional Gabbeh rugs from Persia. Traditionally, the knotting and weaving of nomadic carpets are a woman's domain and area of expertise. True nomadic rugs such as the Gabbeh are almost exclusively knotted for personal use, and often the woman's spirit and natural artisanship are quite apparent in these personal interpretations of their life in art. In "Silk Road", Boccardo celebrates the importance of women's roles in propagating culture along the world's history.
Woven with premium New Zealand wool.
