Wandering Nomad on Chimera Ground, runner 1 is a rectangular wool rug. Zollanvari Super Fine Gabbeh quality.A whimsical narrative unfolds across these Super Fine Gabbeh runners, where ancient nomadic motifs meet a modern, minimalist silhouette. The design features a rhythmic procession of ‘Wandering Camels’ and sentinel-like trees, set against either a structured, Rothko-esque Chimera ground or a vibrant, tonal field. These pieces represent a ‘Transitional’ bridge—capturing the timeless spirit of the desert trek with a clean, geometric simplicity. Whether used to anchor a hallway or define a gallery space, they offer a charming yet sophisticated story of movement and heritage.A Gabbeh is a hand-woven pile rug characterized by an abstract design that relies upon open fields of colour and playful geometry. Gabbehs are woven by tribal women and are principally used as ‘bedding blankets’ by the nomadic tribes of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri and Ghashgha’i people. Gabbehs are quintessentially Zollanvari and geometric designs are quintessential Gabbeh designs. Our Gabbehs come in different qualities. Our finest Gabbeh weave is Zollanvari Super Fine quality (referred to as Kashkuli after one of the Ghashgha’i tribes living in Fars province, southeast and northwest of Shiraz). Our Zollanvari Fine qualities (known as Amaleh after another Ghashgha’i tribe who produced high-quality artefacts for the Khans) are more coarsely knotted, but truly unique and individual in patterns and colour combinations.
