Caring for Gabbeh carpets – how to keep your carpet beautiful

A Gabbeh is an investment. With proper care, it stays beautiful for a long time:

  • Clean regularly: Have your carpet professionally cleaned every 1–2 years. Experts know how to gently treat natural wool.
  • Protect against moths: Regularly treat dark spots under furniture with low-odor moth repellents.
  • Protect from sun and moisture: Direct sunlight can cause colors to fade. Moisture can cause mold.

Gabbeh carpets: Primitive art for the soul of your home

A Gabbeh is more than just a carpet. It is a piece of ancient craftsmanship, woven from stories, a connection to nature, and the unadulterated creativity of nomadic peoples. More robust than many other Oriental rugs and with a unique, often playful character, a Gabbeh impresses with its powerful colors and clear, graphic patterns. It gives any room an immediate warmth and a grounded, authentic atmosphere – whether in a modern loft or country house style.

Thanks to their thick, hand-spun wool and dense pile, Gabbeh carpets are unusually durable and long-lasting. They are the perfect everyday companions that gain character over the years and radiate a cozy, almost archaic calm.


What makes a genuine Gabbeh carpet

The name "Gabbeh" comes from Persian and means something like "raw," "natural," or "simple." This term refers to the original, tactile structure of the carpets. Unlike the delicate patterns of classic Persian rugs, Gabbehs impress with their spontaneous and bold design. Traditionally, they are woven by tribes such as the Ghashghai and Luri in southwestern Iran.

Their distinctive character arises from the use of hand-spun wool in strong, plant-based earth tones: from deep rust red and saffron yellow to olive green and natural, undyed beige. The patterns are often abstract representations of animals, plants, or everyday scenes – told in a vivid, childlike-direct language.


Your personal Gabbeh: Two unique types in focus

In our collection, we place special emphasis on two fascinating variations of the Gabbeh, each bringing its own unique charm to your home.


Gabbeh Lori Carpets: The refined style of the nomads

Gabbeh Lori carpets represent the high art of this weaving craft. Made by the Luri people, they are characterized by a significantly finer knotting and a higher knot density. The result is a more elegant, flatter pile and incredible detail depth in the patterns. While classic Gabbehs often have generous, open areas, Lori Gabbehs are known for their more complex and diverse compositions. Popular motifs include intricate grids, rhythmically arranged lines, and playful borders. A Gabbeh Lori is the perfect choice for you if you love rustic authenticity but value a particularly refined and artistic execution.


Gabbeh Loom Carpets: Modern lightness & affordability

Gabbeh Loom carpets are the modern interpretation of the classic. They combine the typical Gabbeh feeling – soft wool and clear color language – with a contemporary, more efficient manufacturing technique (the so-called "wrapping technique"). This makes them a wonderfully affordable entry option without sacrificing charm and comfort. They are often monochromatic or feature very subtle patterns, making them perfect for minimalist apartments, student dorms, or as a first solution for cozy home textiles. A Loom Gabbeh is ideal for anyone who appreciates the natural, cozy aura of a Gabbeh but wants to shop flexibly and budget-consciously.


Why a Gabbeh is perfect for your home

Stylish Chameleon: With its rustic character, a Gabbeh harmonizes surprisingly well with both modern and rustic interior styles. It serves as a calm, grounding accent in simple rooms or brings life as a colorful impulse to cozy living spaces.

Natural Connection: Made from pure new wool, a Gabbeh is the perfect complement to other natural materials like wood, linen, stone, or leather. It instantly creates a warm, inviting, and authentic atmosphere.

Practical & Durable: The sturdy wool and dense knotting make it resistant to wear. It is an ideal carpet for living rooms, bedrooms, or as a soft, warming base for yoga and play areas.

Alles, was Sie über echte Gabbeh Teppiche wissen sollten
  • Wie erkenne ich, ob mein Gabbeh Teppich echt ist und keine Nachahmung?

    Alle unsere Gabbeh Teppiche werden von Nomadenstämmen im Iran, wie den Qashqai, von Hand geknüpft. Sie bestehen aus 100 % handgesponnener Schurwolle und sind mit natürlichen Pflanzenfarben gefärbt – niemals mit synthetischen Stoffen. Dadurch sind sie weicher, dicker und langlebiger als maschinell hergestellte Kopien aus anderen Ländern.

  • Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Gabbeh Lori, Gabbeh Loom und traditionellen Gabbeh Teppichen?

    Traditionelle Gabbeh Teppiche sind dick und weich, mit einfachen, abstrakten Mustern – ideal für den täglichen Gebrauch. Gabbeh Lori (Loribaft) Teppiche gehören zur feinsten Qualität, zeichnen sich durch eine hohe Knotendichte, elegante Designs und außergewöhnliche Haltbarkeit aus und gelten als echtes Investmentstück. Die Gabbeh Loom Variante bietet eine moderne und preisgünstige Alternative mit klaren, minimalistischen Mustern – perfekt für Einsteiger und moderne Wohnräume.

  • Sind Gabbeh Teppiche robust genug für stark genutzte Räume?

    Ja! Gabbeh Teppiche sind bekannt für ihren dicken Wollflor (bis zu 2,5 cm) und die stabile Handknüpfung. Sie eignen sich hervorragend für Wohnzimmer, Flure oder Essbereiche. Sie sind weich unter den Füßen, aber dennoch strapazierfähig – auch ideal für Kinderzimmer oder Yoga-Bereiche.

  • Wie reinige und pflege ich meinen Gabbeh Teppich richtig?

    Saugen Sie regelmäßig mit sanfter Saugkraft (ohne rotierende Bürste). Bei Flecken sofort mit einem trockenen Tuch abtupfen. Verwenden Sie nur milde, natürliche Reinigungsmittel – keine aggressiven Chemikalien. Für eine gründliche Reinigung empfehlen wir einmal jährlich eine professionelle Teppichreinigung, um den Teppich frisch und geschützt zu halten.

  • Passt ein Gabbeh Teppich auch in ein modernes Zuhause?

    Auf jeden Fall. Gabbeh Teppiche verbinden traditionelle Handwerkskunst mit schlichten, geometrischen Mustern, die perfekt zu modernen, minimalistischen oder skandinavischen Einrichtungsstilen passen. Mit ihren natürlichen Farben und der weichen Wolle bringen sie Wärme und Charakter in jeden Raum, ohne ihn zu überladen.
