A vintage 4x5 Persian Gabbeh rug in the latest entry to Rug & Kilim’s curation of rare tribal pieces. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.

On the Design:

This piece emanates a comfortable presence with a rich, minimalist brown open field with red, gray and green borders. These warm, complementary colors sit gorgeous in the lush pile height, both exemplary of this collectible tribal provenance.

Connoisseurs will appreciate this tribal origin as one of the most primitive, and collectible shabby-chic styles in nomadic rugs. Exceptional Gabbehs like this creation are known for thick, lush pile, vibrant colors and archaic geometric patterns. This mid-century piece is an exemplar of rustic charm and folk art as much as handmade rugs, with versatile size and vast design applications.

In good condition for its age and origin, with an archaic charm and a smart, yet simple presence.
