This is the ultimate minimalist Gabbeh, created by skilled weavers in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets, by combining modern aesthetics with traditional techniques. Measuring 580mm x 440mm, the rug is woven with a sophisticated design that embodies the philosophy of "less is more."

The warm, honey-gold monochromatic background represents the shining sand dunes of the Iranian plateau at dusk. This rich background color is a natural plant dye that maximizes the inherent beauty of natural sheep wool, and is a truly "living color" that subtly changes appearance depending on the viewing angle and the lighting.

The composition of just five small animals scattered across the vast honey-gold land is a reflection of the nomads' philosophy of life: "Choosing only what is truly important."

Upper layout :

• Top left: A lion with a crimson body and a dark blue mane (symbolizing courage and royal dignity)
• Center: Pure white flower motif (symbol of peace and hope)
• Top right: A lion in deep red and dark blue (representing symmetry and harmony)

Middle arrangement :

• Center: A solitary lion (representing the aesthetics of solitude and an independent spirit)

Lower arrangement :

• Bottom left: A lion with a dark blue body and crimson accents (the colors of the night sky and sunset)
• Bottom right: Orange and dark blue lion (harmony of the sun and sky)

The greatest feature of this Gabbeh is its courage in not depicting anything. The vast white space is by no means empty, but rather expresses infinite possibilities and the beauty of silence. The rhythm and spacing created by the five animals creates a meaningful silence, like a musical rest.

As can be seen in the enlarged image on the back, the weave remains perfectly uniform even in the solid color background. This is a feat only highly skilled artisans can achieve, and even the outlines of the small animal motifs are incredibly clear. The high density of knots per square centimeter is a testament to the high quality of this Gabbeh.

The background color of Honey Gold is dyed with dyes extracted from natural plants such as saffron and turmeric. The deep color, which cannot be expressed with chemical dyes, changes more beautifully over time, carving out a history with the user.

Precautions

Daily care instructions

• Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (low to medium suction power, following the pile)
• The honey gold solid background makes dirt and stains very visible, so frequent cleaning is especially important.
• Turn it over periodically to improve ventilation and prevent moisture and dust mites from growing.
• When brushing, do so gently in the direction of the hair.
• Be especially careful with the white fringe, and make sure it doesn't get tangled.

Emergency response to stains and dirt

• If you spill liquid, immediately wipe it with a dry white towel to absorb it.
• The monochromatic background makes dirt and stains very visible, making it extremely important to address them quickly.
• Gently wipe with a towel wrung out in water diluted with a mild detergent.
• Be sure to completely remove the detergent with clean water and dry thoroughly.
• To prevent color transfer from animal motifs, do not leave them wet for long periods of time.

About professional cleaning

• Regular professional cleaning is recommended (please consult with us)
• It is important to have the treatment done by a specialist who understands the characteristics of Honey Gold plant dyes.
• Due to the single-color background, it may be difficult to remove stains.
• Please refrain from washing the product with water at your own discretion as this requires specialized techniques to prevent color transfer and fading.

About quality and specifications

• Due to the nature of hand weaving, there may be slight individual differences in the placement of animal motifs and the color of the background.
• The size may have an error of ±1-2cm
• As it is a natural material, it may expand or contract slightly depending on the season and humidity.
• Due to the characteristics of plant dyes, the color tone changes naturally over time, becoming deeper and richer.
• The detailed animal motifs have a warm personality that can only be achieved through hand weaving.
• Due to the high density of the weave, some pilling may occur at the beginning.
