This vintage Gabbeh rug is a handmade, one-of-a-kind runner with a lively all-over lattice of diamond motifs that reflects the bold simplicity of Persian tribal weaving. Its softly faded palette of ivory, saffron, rust, lavender, and sky blue gives the piece an inviting, decorative character, while the hand-knotted wool pile and geometric patterning lend texture and artisanal depth. A versatile accent for a hallway, entryway, or beside a bed.
Faded warm tones of ivory, gold, lavender, rust, sky blue, camel, and taupe, 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.
