A vintage 3x5 Persian Gabbeh rug, from the latest grand entry to Rug & Kilim’s curation of rare tribal pieces. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.
On the Design:
Connoisseurs will appreciate this tribal origin as one of the most primitive, collectible shabby-chic styles in nomadic rugs. Exceptional Gabbehs like this creation are known for thick, lush pile, vibrant modern colors and archaic geometric patterns. This mid-century piece enjoys pictorials and geometric patterns in orange, blue, green, and other vibrant hues over the beige background. Keen eyes will further admire the rare variety of pictorial motifs, and resemblances to canines, cattle, and human figures.
This work is an exemplar of rustic charm and folk art as much as a handmade rug with versatile size and vast design applications. Further enjoys good condition for its age and origin.
