This elegant and sophisticated Gabbeh carpet is handwoven, stitch by stitch, by skilled artisans in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets. Measuring an easy-to-use size of 610mm x 500mm, it features a warm cream (ivory) background and a deep olive green border, creating a serene and beautiful design that expresses the blessings of nature.

As you can see from the detailed weaving image on the back, this Gabbeh is woven at a very high density, with a considerable number of knots carefully tied per square centimeter. This intricate weaving technique allows the delicate animal and plant motifs on the surface to be expressed three-dimensionally and clearly, and ensures excellent durability that can withstand everyday use.

The warm cream background is lovingly woven with the animals that are a part of the nomadic people's lives. The four-legged animals, such as camels, goats and sheep, are depicted in reddish-brown (terracotta) and each depicted with a different pose and expression, telling the story of the deep bond that the nomads have with the animals in their daily lives.

The purple-brown floral motif at the bottom center expresses respect for the precious flowers that bloom in the desert and praise for their vitality. The small blue motifs on both sides symbolize the waters of an oasis and the stars in the night sky, expressing the beauty and hope found in harsh natural environments.

The deep olive green borders represent grasslands and tree shade, beautifully complementing the cream color of the center, while giving the overall design a sense of stability and dignity. The carefully finished fringes on all four sides are a testament to the traditional techniques used in hand-weaving Gabbeh carpets, and speak to the authentic quality of this carpet.

The natural colors of plant dyes have a depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with synthetic dyes, and they change beautifully with use. The cream base color in particular changes to an elegant ivory-like hue over time, bringing a sense of calm and quality to your living space.

Precautions

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 characteristics of the high density weave, it has a solid weight despite its moderate size.

Daily care instructions

• Lightly vacuum once or twice a week (low to medium suction power, following the pile direction)
• 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.
• Professional cleaning is recommended (please consult with us)

Dealing with dirt and stains

• If you spill liquid, immediately wipe it up with a dry towel to absorb it.
• Wool is naturally water-repellent, but quick action is important.
• Gently wipe with a towel wrung out in water diluted with a mild detergent.
• Be sure to remove the detergent with clean water and dry thoroughly.
  

Precautions for installation and use environment

• We recommend using an appropriate anti-slip mat to avoid friction with flooring.
• When moving, hold both ends and be careful not to drag it.
• Avoid high temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight, and ensure adequate ventilation.
• Be careful of scratches from pets' claws and damage from sharp objects.

About quality and specifications

• Due to the nature of hand-woven products, there are slight individual differences in the expression and placement of animal and plant motifs. These individual differences are proof of the product being handmade, and are a value not found in machine-made products.
• The size may have an error of ±2-3cm
• 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, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading, so please avoid this.
• The color tone will change over time, but this is a natural characteristic of plant dyeing and adds a beautiful touch.
