This beautiful and elegant Gabbeh carpet has been handwoven using traditional techniques by skilled artisans in the Shiraz region of southwestern Iran, a renowned producer of Persian carpets. Measuring just 580mm x 420mm, the carpet features a natural white background and regularly-spaced deer and flower motifs, creating a sophisticated design that conveys the nomadic people's view of nature and aesthetic sense to the modern day.

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 delicate deer silhouette and floral details on the surface to be clearly displayed, and ensures excellent durability that will withstand long-term use.

The central section is woven with animal and plant motifs in an orderly arrangement. The top row features two elegant deer in deep wine red, the middle row features three small deer in warm orange and deep green, and the bottom row features three more deer, creating a dynamic composition of eight deer running across a white grassland.

Between the deer on each tier are two floral motifs painted in pinkish red and deep green, expressing the nomads' deep affection for the precious flowers that bloom in the harsh natural environment and their praise for the power of life. These flowers symbolize the wildflowers that bloom in desert oases and the highland flowers that bloom all at once during the short flowering season in spring.

The deer motif is modeled after the wild deer that inhabit the Iranian plateau, and is a symbol of freedom and elegance for nomads. Each deer is woven with a slightly different posture and expression, and the warmth of hand-woven fabric is appealing. The majesty of the antlered stag and the beauty of its supple body are skillfully expressed.

The pure white background utilizes the natural color of the wool itself, and is not chemically bleached, but rather expresses the natural whiteness of carefully selected, high-quality wool. This clean white background further enhances the colorful motifs, bringing a sense of brightness and openness to the space.

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 carpet's authentic quality and the high level of craftsmanship.

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

Light vacuuming 2-3 times a week (low to medium suction power, following the pile)

Due to the white background, please clean more frequently than usual.

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 highly recommended (please consult with us).

Emergency response to stains and dirt

If you spill liquid, immediately wipe it up with a dry white towel to absorb it (colored towels may transfer color).

Wool is naturally water-repellent, but on white backgrounds, prompt action is crucial.

Gently wipe with a white 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 nature of hand-woven products, there are slight individual differences in the expression and placement of the deer and flower 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 ±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.
