A small gabbeh with a beautiful lattice panel pattern woven by the Qashqai tribe in the Shiraz region of Iran. The geometric design, which resembles a chessboard and is made up of 32 square panels, is interspersed with animal and plant motifs that represent the daily lives of nomads and their prayers for nature. Gabbeh's patterns and colors have various meanings, and each panel tells a story, making it a hand-woven carpet with high cultural value that can be called a "library of life."

Each panel depicts a scene from the daily life of nomads, and features a variety of motifs such as animals, plants, and geometric patterns. The checkered pattern symbolizes "prosperity" due to its continuous pattern, and this regular grid structure expresses the desire for an orderly life and the uninterrupted prosperity of a family.

The design is based on a pattern of alternating squares of two colors, similar to a chessboard, but by arranging different colors and patterns within each panel, it has a unique design that brings variety and individuality to the regularity. This composition is also an expression of the nomadic weaver's advanced design ability and aesthetic sense.

A variety of colors such as deep red, dark blue, brown, and orange are arranged in a well-balanced manner on a warm base color based on ivory. All of these colors are dyed with plants and have a natural depth and warmth that cannot be expressed with chemical dyes.

Precautions and care methods

About the characteristics of high-density weave

Due to the high quality weaving, some fuzz may occur at the initial stage, but it will settle down naturally with use.

If heavy furniture is left in the same place for a long time, it may leave pressure marks, so we recommend regular positioning.

Due to the characteristics of high-density weaving, it has a firm weight despite its compact size.

Daily care method

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

Please turn it over regularly to improve overall ventilation and prevent moisture and dust mites from forming.

When brushing, please gently follow the direction of the hair.

Be especially gentle with the fringe and be careful not to get it tangled.

We recommend regular professional cleaning (please consult with us)

Emergency response to dirt and stains

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

Due to wool's natural water repellency, many stains can be removed with quick action.

Wipe gently with a towel dampened with water diluted with neutral detergent.

Be sure to completely remove detergent with clean water and dry thoroughly.

If stains cannot be resolved by self-treatment, please contact a specialist immediately.

About quality and specifications

Due to the nature of hand-woven fabrics, there may be slight individual differences in the expression and placement of motifs. These are proof of handmade work and have a value that cannot be found in machine products.

The size may have an error of ±1-2cm

As it is a natural material, there will be some expansion and contraction depending on the season and humidity.

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