Additional information:

Gabbehs usually have high wool, it can be goat or sheep wool, which is natural and safe. Gabbeh carpets produced in Iran are a unique art form that is steeped in the history and cultural heritage of the country. The word "gabbe" comes from the Persian "raw" or "natural", emphasizing the naturalness and rawness of these carpets.

These carpets are most often created by the nomadic Gashgai tribe in Fars Province, a southwestern region of Iran. Handcraft is a key element of their production, with each design carefully woven by weavers, conveying centuries of tradition and craftsmanship.

One of the characteristics of gabbeh carpets is their thickness, sometimes reaching 2.5 cm. This makes them not only excellent decorative elements, but also a source of comfort and softness for any interior. Unlike other Persian rugs, the patterns on gabbeh rugs are modest and simple, often containing geometric shapes or animals. They also feature natural shades obtained through the use of vegetable dyes.

Over time, gabbeh carpets have become popular not only in Iran, but also abroad. Their unique design and high quality make them a valuable addition to any home or office. Each of these carpets is unique and has no similar example, and for this reason, they have a high artistic value. The cream, brown, and gray colors used in this carpet are made from naturally colored wool and are made from sheep with these colors and are not dyed.

Carpet helps define spaces in your home by complementing the size of the floor and the arrangement of furniture. It also serves to cover up any damage on the floor, making it an ideal choice for older homes. Whether in the bedroom or living room, rugs offer a simple solution to enhance the overall look of your space. In addition to covering the floor, carpets can be used to cover cracked and faded walls. The carpets that hang on the wall both cover the damaged parts and double the beauty of the home.
