Description

This rug is a unique piece of world art that will enhance your living space. 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. The knot count per square inch for this rug is 160. The pile height is 0.50 inches. This rug is made of 100-percent wool. Colors include black brown gold rust and beige.Story Behind the Art: This particular rug was made by weavers in the Gabbeh village in the Shiraz province of Iran. The villagers here have been making rugs in this area for the last half of a century and they are very proud of their workmanship and production of these authentic tribal rugs. 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. Herat Oriental has been providing beautiful authentic handmade rugs to Worldstock for over 10 years. Worldstock has given us the opportunity to create jobs for over 2000 local village weavers which helps them to greatly support their families. The majority of the weavers are women who live in the villages of Afghanistan Pakistan and India. As we grow with Worldstock 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.What is Worldstock?The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color size and design.
