Characteristics of Persian Hand-woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh rugs are long-pile, hand-woven carpets made by the Qashqai tribe, who nomadize in Iran's Zagros Mountains, using vegetable-dyed wool deeply rooted in their daily lives. The "Persian Variant" wool used in this product, developed for survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, possesses excellent durability and a soft, pleasant texture rich in natural oils for effective body temperature regulation.
The Gabbeh, meticulously hand-woven by Iranian nomads, thread by thread, using this naturally dyed wool, is characterized by its fluffy and comfortable feel.
A well-woven Gabbeh is said to last 100 years, boasting exceptional durability.
Born from a climate with significant temperature differences between day and night, Gabbeh rugs are also characterized by their warmth in winter and their breathability in summer, preventing feelings of heat.
And, of course, there's its artistry. Gabbeh rugs, created from the imagination of nomads, often feature designs of animals and plants, with each piece being a unique, one-of-a-kind original.
They can be placed on the floor, of course, but are also beautiful enough to be hung on a wall as art.
Why not find your own special Gabbeh, a rug you can cherish for a long time?

Daily Care

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

Important Notes

Due to being hand-woven, there may be variations in shape and pattern, weaving irregularities, and dyeing inconsistencies. Please understand that these are part of the charm of a hand-woven item.
Additionally, Gabbeh rugs are woven from sheep's wool. As such, there may be a unique odor from the dyes used to color the wool.
This odor will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this in advance.

Pom-poms can be removed upon request
