Description
Although tribal and rural, the abstract and cubist designs of Persian Gabbehs look so modern they match the interior of today’s homes. Gabbehs, like many other types of Persian rugs, are made with local hand-spun wool and vegetable dyes. This rug was made by weavers in the Gabbeh village in the Shiraz province of Iran.
Herat Oriental works with over 2,000 village weavers to create beautiful, authentic, handmade rugs. The majority of the weavers are women, who live in the villages of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Persia and India. As we grow, we are able to create more jobs for female weavers who otherwise would not have the opportunity to do so. The community also thrives from rug weaving as the local farmers benefit from wool sales, and the local artisans create natural and vegetable dyes for the weavers to use in their designs. Due to the handmade nature of our rugs, the size may vary from as advertised by 3-4 inches. Regular vacuuming and annual professional cleaning will keep your rug looking new for years to come.
