Why choose Gabbeh for your entrance mat?
Gabbeh rugs are handwoven from sheep's wool by nomads in southern Iran.
The high-density pile (length of fibers) is less likely to trap dirt and dust, making it ideal as a rug for the entrance.
The natural oil "lanolin" contained in sheep's wool repels dirt and moisture, making it cool and comfortable to use all year round.
Another reason for its popularity is that it adds warmth and color to everyday entrances.
