This vintage Gabbeh rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a bold tribal geometric composition and a warm terracotta field framed by an expressive border. Large stepped diamond medallions, scattered star-like motifs, and softly faded color transitions give it strong decorative presence and the character collectors prize in hand-knotted wool rugs. An ideal accent for an entryway, bedroom, or office.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, ivory, taupe, rust, teal, magenta, orange, and brown, with a terra cotta 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.
