Iran Gabbeh Rug Unique Sunshine

This charming, red nomadic rug is a genuine, original Gabbeh rug from Iran. The rug is hand-knotted with the highest quality highland wool from the Fars region. The wool is very supple, ideal for rug making and is traditionally carded and hand-spun by hand. The nomadic rugs are an expression of the art and soul of the nomadic tribes that still live in the Zagros Mountains, in the Fars region. The wool is dyed with madder root. It gives the rug its radiant red colour. The rug is reminiscent of a gigantic sunset in the desert. The sun glows on the horizon and the observer may watch this natural spectacle.

Our direct import price means that you buy our rugs between 25 - 35% cheaper than traditional retail, because we select and buy the rugs directly on site in the country of origin. This also means that there is no intermediate trade between us and the manufacturer. We pass this price advantage on to our customers in full.

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.
