This colorful Gabbeh carpet was handwoven by skilled artisans in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, a region famous for Persian carpets. Measuring 580mm x 440mm, it features a vibrant moss green border and a colorful 3x4 block pattern, creating an artistic design that conveys the rich color sense of the nomads to the modern day.

As you can see from the weaving detail image on the back, this Gabbeh is densely woven, with a considerable number of carefully tied knots per square centimeter. This precise weaving technique allows the delicate animal motifs within each block to be clearly expressed and ensures excellent durability that will withstand long-term use.

The central section is made up of 12 color blocks (3 columns x 4 rows), each with a different base color. The four colors - warm orange, deep wine red, refreshing sky blue, and rich brown - are regularly arranged, creating a kaleidoscope-like beauty that gives different impressions depending on the angle from which it is viewed.

Each block is woven with animal motifs such as camels, sheep, goats, and deer, as well as flowers, trees, and geometric patterns, expressing the daily lives of nomads and their deep love for nature. These motifs are not merely decorative, but are traditional symbols that express gratitude and respect for the animals and plants that are essential to nomads' lives.

The deep moss green border symbolizes the earth and grasslands, highlighting the colorful central block while giving the overall design a sense of stability and dignity. The fringe is also carefully finished, demonstrating the authentic quality of hand-woven Gabbeh.

The natural colors of plant dyes have a depth and warmth that cannot be achieved with chemical dyes, and they change beautifully over time. They show different expressions depending on the light and the season, bringing the rhythm and color of nature 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 high density weave, it has a solid weight despite its compact size.

Daily care instructions

Lightly vacuum once or twice a week (low to medium suction power, following the pile direction)

Due to its compact size, please turn it over periodically to ensure good ventilation.

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.

Please handle the borders of color blocks with particular care as they are prone to color transfer.

About quality and specifications

Due to the nature of hand weaving, there are slight individual differences in the motifs and coloring within each block. 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 ±1-2cm

As it is made from natural materials, it may expand or contract slightly depending on the season.

Due to the characteristics of plant dyes, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause fading, so please avoid this.

There may be some slight color transfer between color blocks, but this will stabilize with use.
