This handmade one-of-a-kind antique Gabbeh rug, dating to circa 1940, presents a striking tribal composition with a large faceted medallion field, stylized animal figures, and angular floral motifs that reflect Persian village weaving traditions. Its hand-knotted wool pile showcases a beautifully aged palette of rust, taupe, ivory, and soft sky blue, with gentle wear that enhances its collector appeal and decorative character. An ideal centerpiece for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded warm tones of rust, taupe, ivory, sky blue, terra cotta, sage, gold, and rose, with a rust 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.
