Parvin Arefi Among Qashqai
Southern IRAN
|
| Parvin Arefi an astrologer, engineer and author is presently living in Mission Viejo, California. She has traveled extensively in Southern Iran and has long been fascinated by Gabbeh collecting and studying hundreds over the years.
She has exported hundreds of Gabbeh rugs from south Persia woven by Quashqaie or Lori Tribes to Switzerland and Los Angeles for famous GABBEH Collectors.
Parvin was first introduced to Gabbeh as abstract tribal rug first in Los Angles by an rug dealer and scholar (she was mentioned as research associate in Iran in HALI - The International Journal of Oriental Carpet and Textile - Vol. 5 - Number 4 - 1983).
This publication was the first to publish a technical article about GEORGES D. BORNET COLLECTION of GABBEH written by D.W. Martin.

We do not carry Gabbeh's made in India, Pakistan, or Afghanistan. We only carry and sale Persian Gabbeh rugs.
Our Gabbeh's are not commercially woven for the export market, but are original tribal art woven for their daily use.
We believe these carpets are the last objects of original woven art coming from Persia, therefore have collectable value.
Since they are collected directly from the tribes, as well as Shiraz Carpet Market, they are priced reasonably and according to design, uniqueness, wool quality and weave.
