Characteristics of Persian Hand-woven Gabbeh Rugs

Gabbeh rugs are long-pile rugs woven by the Qashqai tribe, who nomadically inhabit the Zagros Mountains of Iran, using plant-dyed wool as an integral part of their daily life. The Persian Variant wool used in this product possesses excellent durability, necessary for survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, and a soft, pleasant texture rich in natural oils, which helps regulate body temperature. Gabbeh rugs, made from this wool dyed with natural dyes and meticulously hand-woven by Iranian nomads, are characterized by their plush and comfortable feel. Well-woven Gabbeh rugs are highly durable, said to last for up to 100 years. Originating from a climate with significant day-night temperature differences, Gabbeh rugs also have the characteristic of being warm in winter and airy in summer, preventing a feeling of heat. And above all, there is their artistic quality. Gabbeh rugs, imaginatively created by nomads, often feature designs of animals and plants, with each one being a unique, original piece. They can be laid on the floor or even hung on a wall as art. Why not find your own special Gabbeh rug, one that you can cherish for a lifetime?

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom along the direction of the pile. For stubborn stains: Dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel or similar cloth, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Important Notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape or pattern, weaving irregularities, and dyeing unevenness. Please consider these as part of the unique charm of a hand-woven item. Additionally, Gabbeh rugs are woven from sheep's wool. Consequently, a distinct odor from the dye used on the wool may be present. This odor will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this in advance.
