About This Gabbeh

Gabbeh rugs are woven by Qashqai nomadic tribes in the Zagros Mountains of Fars Province, southwest Iran. The name means "raw" or "unfinished" in Persian, reflecting their deliberately simple, primitive aesthetic. With thick, long pile of up to 2.5 cm and bold, abstract designs, they stand apart from the fine city weaving tradition.

Each Gabbeh is a personal expression, hand-spun wool dyed with natural plant pigments creates saturated earthy colors and simple geometric fields. Animal motifs, stick figures, and blocks of pure color appear freehand, with no two pieces alike.

Questions about this rug

Which room is this rug for?

At 301 × 243 cm (7.31 m²) this is a large rug. It sits under a seating group with the front legs of sofa and chairs on it, or under a dining table for four. A table for six wants about 80 cm of clearance all round, and needs more.

Is this rug hand-knotted?

Yes, knotted by hand — knot by knot on a loom, not machine-made. The density is 72,000 to 90,000 knots per square metre; across 7.31 m² that is roughly 530,000 to 660,000 individual knots, every one of them tied by hand.

How do I care for this rug?

Hand-spun wool still carries its own lanolin, which keeps liquid sitting on the surface for a moment: blot quickly, with clear water and a light cloth, working inwards and without rubbing. Otherwise regular vacuuming along the pile is enough. Turn the rug once or twice a year so light and footfall reach it evenly.
