Iran Gabbeh Rug Unique Elixir of Life

This rug shows the three elements that play an important role in the life of the nomads. The desert that covers two-thirds of the land, the green meadows that are pasture for the animals and the springs of water that give life. The nomadic woman lovingly hand-knots what she sees on her wanderings through Iran. The unique piece is not only a symbolic gift from nature, it is also made of 100% natural materials. The virgin wool comes from sheep from the Zagros Mountains, which is partly dyed with natural dyes and partly undyed. The pure new winter wool contains a very high residual fat content, which is why the unique piece is particularly insensitive.

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.
