Circa: 1970.
This vintage 1970s pictorial rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a striking lion motif set against a warm camel field and framed by a richly patterned border. Its decorative composition blends traditional weaving with bold folk-art character, using a finely detailed pictorial centerpiece and contrasting geometric floral border for strong visual impact. An ideal accent for an entryway, office, or bedroom.
Muted warm tones of camel, rust, navy, ivory, taupe, rose, and sienna, with a camel 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.
