Loristan Gabbeh. Once they were used not only as rugs, but also as mattresses or blankets in tents, in fact they are soft, fluffy and thicker than other Persian rugs (some pieces reach 4 cm thickness). With the hair present on two sides we are talking of Gabbeh Patueh. They are characterized by bright colours, such as yellow, red and blue, and for the rustic charm of the primitive subjects, based on linear geometric forms that often reproduce figures of stylized animals. The colours are natural, realized according to ancient recipes that use plants and roots as the pomegranate, the root of madder, indigo. Many seem dyed in an irregular way but this is the result of the use of colours created by hand.
