This beautiful Gabbeh, truly a "Poem of the Great Plains," was created by the Qashqai nomads of the Shiraz region in southwestern Iran, using traditional hand-weaving techniques passed down through generations. Measuring 1200mm x 820mm, this imposing piece features refreshing blue and green horizontal stripes, along with charming animal and plant motifs, creating a masterpiece that celebrates the bounty of nature.

Features of the Beautiful Design

Horizontal Stripe Composition: A large sky-blue central field is enclosed top and bottom by blue stripes of varying tones, with the entire piece framed by a deep olive-green border. This color scheme, inspired by nature, evokes the blue sky and green earth.

Animal Motifs:

Olive Green Border: Brown quadrupeds such as goats, sheep, and camels are arranged regularly.

Blue Field: Yellow (saffron-colored) and brown Tree of Life motifs are woven alternately, expressing the fertility of nature.

Dark Blue Central Band: Fine dot patterns, like pointillism, create a poetic expression reminiscent of a starry sky or a flower field.

Decorative Tassels at Four Corners: Colorful tassels woven with red, blue, and white threads give the rug a free and rich nomadic character.

Yarame (High-Density) Weaving: Woven with the "Yarame" technique, which is particularly dense among Shiraz Gabbeh rugs, the intricate animal and plant motifs are beautifully finished, whether viewed from a distance or up close.

Commitment to Natural Materials

Made with the highest quality wool, all colors are finished with natural plant dyes. Blues come from deep indigo dyeing, greens from an overlay of indigo and yellow plants, yellows from saffron and turmeric, and browns from madder and oak bark, creating a treasure trove of colors born from nature. Over time, the colors will deepen, beautifully engraving the history shared with its owner.

Cultural Background and Meaning

The animals and Trees of Life woven into the Gabbeh are important symbols reflecting the nomadic worldview. Animals represent abundant pastures and thriving livestock, while the Tree of Life expresses harmony with nature and eternal vitality. They are believed to bring happiness and prosperity to the home.

Daily Care Instructions

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

Since gray areas tend to show dirt easily, make an effort to clean them frequently.

Flip it regularly to ensure good airflow and prevent moisture and dust mites.

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

Handle the white fringe carefully to prevent tangling.

Emergency Treatment for Stains/Spills

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

For gray areas, prompt action is extremely important as dirt is particularly noticeable.

Dab gently with a towel wrung out in water diluted with mild detergent.

Always remove detergent completely with clear water and dry thoroughly.

To prevent color transfer from red areas, do not leave it wet for long periods.

About Professional Cleaning

Regular professional cleaning is recommended (please consult us).

It is important to have it cleaned by a professional who understands the characteristics of plant dyes and multi-color combinations.

Since specialized techniques are required to prevent color transfer and fading, avoid self-washing with water.
