Reasons to Choose Gabbeh for Your Entrance Mat
Gabbeh rugs are hand-knotted one by one by nomads in southern Iran using wool.
The high-density pile is resistant to dirt and dust, making it ideal for entrance mats.
The natural oil content in the wool, known as lanolin, repels dirt and moisture, allowing for comfortable use throughout the year.
Adding warmth and color to daily entryways is also a popular reason for their choice.
