Gabbeh are long-piled rugs handwoven by the Qashqai nomads, who nomadize in the Zagros Mountains of Iran. They are made from naturally dyed wool and are deeply rooted in their daily lives. The "Persian Variant" wool used in this product possesses excellent durability for surviving the harsh environment of the Zagros Mountains, and its soft, pleasant texture is rich in natural oils, allowing for effective temperature regulation. Gabbeh, woven by Iranian nomads by hand, one thread at a time, using naturally dyed wool, are characterized by their fluffy and pleasant feel. A well-woven Gabbeh is said to last 100 years, boasting exceptional durability. Gabbeh, born from a climate with extreme temperature differences between day and night, are warm in winter and airy in summer, providing a cool feeling. And above all, there is its artistic quality.

Daily Care

Remove dust and debris with a vacuum cleaner or broom, following the direction of the pile. For stains: Dilute a neutral detergent (for wool/silk) with water, wring out a towel tightly, and gently wipe the surface. Then, carefully wipe with a damp cloth to remove the detergent, and dry in a well-ventilated shaded area.

Important Notes

Due to being handwoven, there may be variations in shape and pattern, weaving irregularities, and dyeing inconsistencies. Please understand that these are part of the charm of handweaving. Additionally, Gabbeh are woven from sheep's wool. Therefore, a unique odor from the dye used for the wool may occur. This odor will gradually dissipate with use, but please be aware of this beforehand.
