This antique circa 1930 Gabbe rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving with a softly faded ivory and taupe ground enlivened by dark brown geometric medallions and scattered latch-hook motifs. Its hand-knotted wool pile and richly patterned borders showcase the graphic, folkloric character prized in Persian Gabbe rugs. An ideal accent for a bedroom, hallway, or office.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, dark brown, charcoal, camel, and cream, with a ivory 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.
