Authentic Gabbeh carpets are hand-woven by the Qashqai tribe in the Shiraz region of southwestern Iran. It was originally created as a rug for the nomads (Kashgai tribe) in the Zagros Mountains in southwestern Iran to put under their tents to protect themselves from the heat and cold and live comfortably.It is a valuable cultural heritage that has been passed down over thousands of years to the present day. It features a natural and rustic design dyed with plants, and is a special piece that brings warmth and natural beauty to modern living spaces as an authentic Gabbeh hand-woven from 100% wool thread.

For this Gabbeh, a loom is placed on the floor, and the weavers sit on it and weave without looking at anything. This weaving method is unique to the Kasugai tribe. As a one-of-a-kind work of art that is woven using only the weaver's sensitivity and experience without looking at the blueprint, the same design has a unique value that will never be created twice.

It is dyed with natural materials that are familiar to nomads, such as tree roots and nut bark. Abrush refers to the shading of the thread color that is unique to vegetable dyeing. The gradation of blue that resembles trickling water and the red that expresses a sunset that deepens over time have a natural beauty that can only be achieved with Abrush.

The Shiraz region, especially Shiraz in Iran, is known for its high-quality Gabbeh, which is known for its vegetable dyeing. The Gabbeh woven in this region is made from 100% pure wool and uses traditional techniques that have been passed down from generation to generation, giving it a unique texture and durability that cannot be found in other regions.

The adorable animals placed in the center and four corners are thought to be based on sheep, deer, birds, and other animals familiar to nomadic life. These animal patterns are not just decorations, but symbols with sacred meanings that express gratitude for the rich nature, safety and health of the family, and wishes for the prosperity of the herd.

The warm colors are based on ivory, with vibrant accents of red, blue, and green. These colors express the natural scenery that nomads see on a daily basis, such as the sand of the desert, the red of the sunset, the blue of the sky, and the green of an oasis, and express the nomad's worldview that emphasizes harmony with nature.

The slight distortions and irregularities characteristic of hand-woven fabrics give a sense of warmth that cannot be obtained with machine production. This is not a defect, but an expression of the warmth and individuality of human hands, and it is a special charm that the more you use it, the more you will become attached to it.

Daily care and maintenance

Basic care method

It is made so well that all you need to do for regular maintenance is to vacuum it to remove dirt and dust. However, if you use too much suction power, you may end up sucking up too much hair, so when vacuuming, choose a mode with weak suction power.

How to vacuum:

Gently vacuum in the direction of the hair once or twice a week

Use “low” suction mode and use a brush head if available

You can maintain ventilation by lightly vacuuming the back side about once a month.

How to deal with dirt

For light dirt: If you are concerned about light dirt on the surface, gently wipe it off with a tightly wrung rag. It is important to keep the moisture as low as possible and dry thoroughly after wiping.

In case of spilled liquid:

Immediately absorb moisture by pressing with a dry towel

It is important to "push" without rubbing.

Then, let it dry naturally in a well-ventilated place.

About professional cleaning

Professional cleaning once or twice a year will maintain the original beauty and functionality of Gabbeh for a long time. We recommend cleaning at a Persian rug specialty store. Please note that regular cleaning shops may not be able to properly process the problem.

Please contact us regarding cleaning.
