Dimensions: 3'3" x 5'8" (99 cm x 173 cm).
Circa: 1940.
This antique Persian Gabbeh rug, circa 1940, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece distinguished by its bold windowpane lattice and earthy, naturally expressive palette. The hand-knotted wool pile showcases a softly mottled camel-brown field framed by ivory and dark borders, with deep rust grid lines that give the composition a graphic tribal character and enduring decorative versatility. Its restrained geometry and warm, textural presence make it an ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Muted warm tones of taupe, camel, rust, ivory, charcoal, and brown, with a taupe 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.
