Characteristics of Persian Hand-Woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are long-piled rugs, hand-woven by the Qashqai nomads who graze their flocks in Iran's Zagros Mountains, using vegetable-dyed wool. The Persian Variant wool used in this product is known for its excellent durability to survive in the harsh Zagros Mountains, as well as its soft and pleasant feel, containing a high amount of natural oil that helps regulate body temperature.
The Gabbeh rugs, woven by Iranian nomads by hand, strand by strand, using this wool dyed with natural dyes, are characterized by their plush and pleasant texture.
Well-woven Gabbeh rugs are highly durable, said to last for 100 years.
Gabbeh, born from a climate with extreme temperature differences between day and night, is also characterized by being warm in winter and airy in summer, preventing it from feeling hot.
And, above all, there is its artistic quality. Gabbeh created from the nomads' imagination often feature animal and plant designs, and each piece is a unique, one-of-a-kind original.
They can be laid on the floor or even hung on a wall as art.
Gabbeh rugs are meant to be used for a long time; why not find your own special Gabbeh?

Daily Care

Notes

As these are hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape and pattern, weaving irregularities, and dyeing irregularities. Please consider these as part of the charm of hand-weaving.
Also, Gabbeh rugs are woven from sheep's wool. Therefore, a unique scent from the wool dye may be present.
This scent will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this in advance.
