Features of Persian Hand-woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are long-piled rugs hand-woven by the Qashqai nomads of the Zagros Mountains in Iran, using vegetable-dyed wool. The Persian variant wool used in this product, known for enabling survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, possesses excellent durability and a soft, pleasant texture with a high fat content for effective thermoregulation.
These Gabbeh, hand-woven strand by strand by Iranian nomads using this naturally dyed wool, are characterized by their fluffy and pleasant feel.
Well-woven Gabbeh are said to last for 100 years, boasting exceptional durability.
Born from a climate with extreme temperature fluctuations between day and night, Gabbeh are also warm in winter and airy in summer, preventing feelings of heat.
And above all, there's their artistic quality. Gabbeh created from the nomads' imagination often feature designs of animals and plants, with each piece being a unique, one-of-a-kind original.
They can be laid on the floor, of course, but also hung on walls as art.
