Features of Persian Hand-Woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are long-piled rugs, rooted in the nomadic life of the Qashqai tribe in Iran's Zagros Mountains, who hand-weave them using plant-dyed wool. The Persian Variant wool used in this product possesses excellent durability for survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, and a soft, pleasant texture with a high fat content to regulate body temperature effectively.
Gabbeh rugs, hand-woven knot by knot by Iranian nomads after dyeing this wool with natural dyes, are characterized by their fluffy and comfortable texture.
Well-woven Gabbeh are said to last 100 years, boasting superior durability.
Born from the extreme temperature differences between day and night, Gabbeh also have the characteristic of being warm in winter and airy in summer, preventing a feeling of heat.
And, above all, their artistry. Gabbeh, created from the imagination of nomads, often feature designs of animals and plants, with each piece being a unique original.
They can be laid on the floor or even hung on a wall as art.
Why not find your own special Gabbeh that you can enjoy for a long time?

Notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be variations in shape and pattern, weaving irregularities, and dye inconsistencies. Please understand that these are part of the charm of a hand-woven product.
Also, Gabbeh are woven from sheep's wool. Therefore, a unique odor from the dyes used for the wool may occur.
The odor will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this in advance.
