Dimensions: 3'8" x 4'9" (112 cm x 145 cm).
Circa: 1950.
This vintage mid-century rug, circa 1950, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a striking minimalist geometric composition and softly aged palette. Its open field of peachy camel tones is framed by a broad teal border and enlivened with fine all-over speckled patterning that showcases the character of handwoven craftsmanship. The understated design and faded coloration make it an easy decorative accent for an entryway, bedroom, or office.
Faded warm tones of peach, teal, camel, taupe, ivory, and slate, with a peach 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.
