Characteristics of Persian Hand-Woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh rugs are long-pile, everyday rugs hand-woven by the Qashqai tribe, who nomadize in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, 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 its soft, pleasant-to-the-touch texture contains a high amount of lanolin to effectively regulate body temperature. Gabbeh rugs, woven with this wool dyed with natural dyes by Iranian nomads, one strand at a time, are characterized by their fluffy and comfortable feel. Well-woven Gabbeh rugs are so durable that they are said to last for 100 years. Gabbeh rugs, born from the extreme temperature differences between day and night, also have the characteristic of being warm in winter and well-ventilated in summer, preventing feelings of heat. And above all, there is their artistry. Gabbeh rugs created from the imagination of nomads often feature animal and plant designs, and each one is a unique, one-of-a-kind original. They can be laid on the floor or even hung on a wall as art. Why not find your own special Gabbeh rug that you can cherish for a long time?

Daily Care

Remove dirt and dust with a vacuum cleaner or broom, sweeping along the direction of the pile. If stains are a concern: Dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water and gently wipe the surface with a tightly wrung towel or similar. Then, thoroughly wipe with water to remove the detergent and dry in a well-ventilated, shaded area.

Points to Note

Due to being hand-woven, there may be distortions in shape and pattern, inconsistencies in weaving, and uneven dyeing. Please consider these as part of the charm of a hand-woven item. Additionally, Gabbeh rugs are woven from sheep's wool. Therefore, a unique odor from the dyes used on the wool may occur. This odor will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this beforehand.
