Iran Gabbeh Rug Unique Water Feature

The deep blue water is magnificently reflected in this hand-knotted nomadic rug, woven by nomadic women in southern Iran. The water shimmers through the light and reflects the beautiful sky, which was covered with purple and pink clouds. The nomadic woman knotted the rug in the open air and without a pattern, purely from her imagination and with full passion.  The colours for the rug are extracted from flowers and tubers. The hand-spun and hard-wearing wool comes from sheep in the Zagros Mountains. The virgin wool contains an incredibly high residual fat content, which is why the unique piece is particularly insensitive and dirt-resistant. 

As our nomadic rugs are hand-knotted, it may be that small wool threads push upwards at the beginning. This is not a material defect, but the testimony of a genuine, hand-knotted rug. The threads can easily be cut off with scissors. We recommend using a hoover with a flat nozzle. This is more gentle on the handmade rug. As this rug is a purely natural product, stains can generally be removed very easily and without complications. Simply wash the stain out with neutral soap and water. Under no circumstances should you use chemical cleaning agents, as the rug is made of pure natural materials and the wool will then be attacked. If you have more persistant stains or you want to give the rug a thorough cleaning after some time, then the hand-knotted rugs can be washed. We offer this rug washing service for our rugs. We also recommend the use of a non-slip underlay to protect your floor and the rug and prevent you from slipping on the rug.
