Characteristics of Persian Hand-Woven Gabbeh

Gabbeh are long-pile rugs woven by the Qashqai nomads who roam the Zagros Mountains in Iran, using vegetable-dyed wool. The Persian Valiant wool used in this product has excellent durability, developed for survival in the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, and contains a high amount of lanolin, making it soft and pleasant to the touch, and adept at temperature regulation. Gabbeh rugs, made by carefully hand-weaving this wool dyed with natural dyes, one by one, by Iranian nomads, are characterized by their plush and comfortable texture. Well-woven Gabbeh rugs are highly durable, said to last for 100 years. Gabbeh, born from a climate with extreme temperature differences between day and night, are warm in winter and well-ventilated in summer, providing a cool sensation. And above all, there is their artistic quality. The Gabbeh created from the imagination of nomads often feature animal and plant designs, and each one is a unique, original piece. They can be laid on the floor or even hung on the wall as art. Why not find your own special Gabbeh that you can use for a long time?
