Features of Persian Hand-Woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are hand-woven rugs made by the Qashqai tribe, who nomadize in the Zagros Mountains of Iran, using plant-dyed wool with a long pile that is deeply rooted in their daily lives. 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 oil content for effective body temperature regulation. Gabbeh, hand-woven meticulously one by one by Iranian nomads after dyeing this wool with natural dyes, are characterized by their fluffy and pleasant feel. A tightly woven Gabbeh is said to last for 100 years, boasting exceptional durability. Created in a climate with large temperature differences between day and night, Gabbeh also have the characteristic of being warm in winter and well-ventilated in summer, preventing feelings of heat. And above all, there is its artistic quality. Gabbeh created from the imagination of nomads often feature animal and plant designs, and each piece is a unique original, with no two being exactly alike. They can, of course, be laid on the floor, but are also artistic enough to be hung on walls. Gabbeh are meant to be used for a long time; why not find your own special Gabbeh?

Daily Care

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