This vibrant and dynamic Gabbeh carpet was handwoven using traditional hand-weaving techniques by skilled artisans in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, a region famous for Persian carpets. Measuring just 580mm x 450mm, it features a beautiful green border and a patchwork-like design of colorful squares, creating a sophisticated design that conveys the nomadic people's view of nature and aesthetic sense to the modern day.

A deep forest green border elegantly frames the whole piece, and 24 vibrantly colored squares are woven into the center in a regular 4 x 6 pattern. Each square is carefully woven with silhouettes of natural motifs such as deer, trees, and flowers, expressing the deep love and respect for the plants and animals that are so closely connected to the lives of nomads.

The silhouettes of animals and plants woven into each square symbolize the wild animals that inhabit the Iranian plateau, the livestock that support the nomadic people's lives, and the precious plants that flourish in the harsh natural environment. These motifs are cultural memories that have been passed down from generation to generation, and each one is imbued with deep meaning and a story.

As you can see from the weaving detail image on the back, this Gabbeh is extremely densely woven, with a significant number of precisely knotted knots per square centimeter. This exceptional weaving technique allows the intricate motifs within each square to be clearly defined, and ensures excellent durability that will withstand long-term use.

The subtle differences in appearance that can only be achieved by hand weaving, and the natural, deep colors achieved by plant dyeing, give this Gabbeh a unique character and value. The carefully finished fringes on all four sides are a testament to the traditional hand weaving techniques and demonstrate the high level of skill of the artisans.

Precautions and care instructions

About the characteristics of high density weave

• Due to the high quality of the weave, some pilling may occur at first, but this will naturally subside with use.
• Heavy furniture can leave pressure marks if left in the same place for a long period of time, so we recommend adjusting it regularly.
• Due to the high density weave, it has a solid weight despite its compact size.

Daily care instructions

• Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (low to medium suction power, following the pile)
• Turn it over regularly to allow air to circulate and prevent moisture and dust mites from growing.
• When brushing, do so gently in the direction of the hair
• Be especially gentle with the fringe and take care not to tangle it.
• Regular professional cleaning (once or twice a year) is recommended (please consult with us).

Emergency response to stains and dirt

• If you spill liquid, immediately wipe it with a dry white towel to absorb it.
• Due to the natural water repellency of wool, most stains can be removed with quick action.
• 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.
• If you cannot solve the problem yourself, please consult a professional immediately.

About quality and specifications

• Due to the characteristics of hand weaving, there are slight individual differences in the expression and placement of motifs. These are proof of the product being handmade, and have a value that cannot be found in machine-made products.
• 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 and natural wool, natural color changes may occur over time.
