This vibrant and dynamic Gabbeh rug is a masterpiece crafted by skilled artisans from Shiraz, southwestern Iran, a renowned region for Persian carpets, using traditional hand-weaving techniques. Measuring a compact 580mm x 450mm, it features an elegant green border and a colorful patchwork-style design of squares, conveying the nomadic people's connection with nature and their aesthetic sense in a sophisticated contemporary design.

A deep forest-green border gracefully frames the entire rug, while the central area is woven with 24 colorful squares arranged in a regular 4x6 pattern. Each square intricately depicts natural motifs such as deer, trees, and flowers in silhouette, expressing the deep love and respect nomadic people have for the flora and fauna closely intertwined with their lives.

The silhouettes of animals and plants woven into each square symbolize the wildlife inhabiting the Iranian highlands, livestock that supports the nomadic way of life, and precious plants that bloom in harsh natural environments. These motifs are cultural memories passed down through generations, each imbued with profound meaning and stories.

As seen in the detailed image of the weave on the reverse side, this Gabbeh is woven with extremely high density, with a significant number of knots precisely tied per square centimeter. This exceptional weaving technique ensures that the delicate motifs within each square are clearly expressed, and guarantees superior durability for long-term use.

The subtle variations in expression unique to hand-weaving and the natural, deep colors achieved through plant dyeing give this Gabbeh its unique personality and value. The carefully finished fringes on all four sides are a testament to traditional hand-weaving techniques and the high skill of the artisans.

Notes and Care Instructions

Regarding the Characteristics of High-Density Weave

Due to its high-quality weave, slight fuzzing may occur initially but will naturally subside with use.

Heavy furniture placed in the same spot for extended periods may leave pressure marks, so periodic repositioning is recommended.

Due to the high-density weave, it has a substantial weight despite its compact size.

Daily Care Instructions

Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (along the pile with low to medium suction).

Periodically flip the rug over to improve air circulation and prevent moisture and dust mite buildup.

When brushing, do so gently along the direction of the pile.

Be especially gentle with the fringe area to prevent tangling.

Regular professional cleaning is recommended (1-2 times a year) (Please consult us).

Emergency Stain Treatment

If liquid is spilled, immediately blot with a dry white towel to absorb.

Thanks to the natural water repellency of wool, most stains can be removed with prompt action.

Gently dab with a towel wrung out in water diluted with a neutral detergent.

Always remove all detergent with clean water and dry thoroughly.

For stains that cannot be resolved with self-treatment, promptly consult a professional.

Quality and Specifications

Due to the nature of hand-weaving, there may be slight individual differences in motif expression and placement. These are hallmarks of handmade products and a value not found in machine-made items.

Sizes may have an error of ±1-2cm.

Due to natural materials, there may be slight expansion or contraction depending on the season and humidity.

Due to the characteristics of plant dyes and natural wool, natural color changes may occur over time.
