Handwoven Gabbeh Rug from Shiraz, Iran, Traditional Craftsmanship, 100% Natural Wool, Antique Style, Red Gradient

Product description and feature explanation

This authentic Gabbeh carpet is carefully woven using traditional hand-weaving techniques by nomads in Shiraz, southwestern Iran, the holy land of Persian carpets. It features a beautiful gradation from deep red to crimson red, and a traditional cross motif woven in gold in the center.

The greatest appeal of this Gabbeh rug is its rich color expression and meticulous weaving techniques. It is made from 100% natural wool and dyed with natural plant-based dyes. The deep red hue, created using ancient dyeing techniques using ingredients such as madder, saffron, and pomegranate skin, shows different expressions depending on the light and the time of day, and the color develops a richer tone the more it is used.

The central cross motif represents the "Tree of Life," a traditional design that holds sacred meaning for nomadic peoples. The intricate geometric patterns that surround it are abstract representations of constellations and natural phenomena, and the weaver's wishes and prayers are embedded in every stitch.

The high-density weave of approximately 120 knots per square inch (KPSI) ensures durability and lasts for generations. Approximately 15mm thick, it provides just the right amount of cushioning for a comfortable feel and helps keep out the cold air from the floor in winter.
