This handmade one-of-a-kind antique Gabbeh rug from circa 1930 showcases a striking tribal composition with a spacious blue field and an elongated geometric medallion framed by a warm terracotta border. Its hand-knotted character and softly aged palette give the piece a refined, collectible presence, while the open design and subtle abrash-like tonal variation add depth and decorative versatility. An ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded cool tones of blue, terra cotta, ivory, sage, and slate, with a blue field.
Gabbe (also Gabbeh) rugs are woven by nomadic and semi-nomadic tribal women in the Zagros Mountains of southern Iran, primarily by the Qashqai and Luri tribes. The word "gabbeh" means "raw" or "unfinished" in Persian, reflecting the bold, improvisational aesthetic of these textiles — thick-piled, loosely knotted, and filled with naive figurative imagery: animals, people, trees, and abstract forms drawn directly from the weaver's imagination and daily life.
Their thick, soft pile, earthy natural dyes, and utterly original imagery have made Gabbeh rugs enormously popular since they were "discovered" by the Western market in the 1980s. They bring immediate warmth and personality to any interior.
