This antique Gabbeh rug, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal weaving distinguished by its charming grid of stylized tree motifs and softly aged palette. The hand-knotted design pairs an ivory ground with sky blue, sage, and charcoal accents, framed by a geometric border that underscores its graphic village craftsmanship and collectible character. Its balanced composition and gentle coloration make it an ideal choice for a bedroom, hallway, or office.
Faded cool tones of ivory, sky blue, sage, charcoal, taupe, and slate, 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.
