This antique Gabbeh runner, circa 1920, is a handmade, one-of-a-kind tribal rug with a bold geometric lattice set against a deep brown field and framed by multiple decorative borders. Its hand-knotted character is expressed through crisp stepped lozenges, soft abrash, and a nuanced palette of camel, ivory, rust, and sky blue that gives the piece strong graphic presence and collector appeal. A striking accent for a hallway, entryway, or office.
Muted warm tones of brown, camel, ivory, sky blue, rust, terra cotta, sage, and charcoal, with a brown 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.
