This antique Gabbeh rug, handmade and one-of-a-kind, showcases a striking tribal pictorial design with stylized lions, birds, and tree motifs set against a warm terracotta field. Its hand-knotted character and softly aged palette of ivory, gold, and earthy brown give the composition a collectible folk-art presence with exceptional decorative charm. An ideal accent for a living room, bedroom, or office.
Faded warm tones of terra cotta, ivory, gold, camel, olive, taupe, 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.
