Circa: 30.
Handmade and one-of-a-kind, this antique Gabbeh runner from Persia, circa 1930, pairs a softly abrashed ivory field with stepped diamond medallions in pale blue and camel. Its tribal geometry, guard borders, and open composition give the piece a refined yet rustic presence that showcases the character of hand-knotted village weaving. An ideal accent for a hallway, entryway, or bedside setting.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, pale blue, camel, taupe, and beige, 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.
