Dimensions: 3'10" x 5'6" (117 cm x 168 cm).
This vintage Gabbeh rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind piece with a bold geometric field framed by an expressive floral border. Its softly faded palette of ivory, taupe, and deep brown highlights the rug’s graphic medallion-like center, angular stepped forms, and charming tribal motifs that give it strong decorative character. A versatile accent for a bedroom, entryway, or office.
Faded neutral tones of ivory, taupe, brown, charcoal, camel, 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.
