On the Design:
This tribal provenance is one of the most primitive, and collectible shabby-chic styles in handmade nomadic rugs. Exceptional Gabbehs like this are known for thick, lush pile, unique colors and archaic geometric patterns. This particular design enjoys a beige-brown field, and geometric figures like humans, animals, and other cultural pictorials. Keen-eyed connoisseurs will admire how warm and vibrant the colors remain, especially for this period of origin. Collectors will further appreciate how rare it is to find pictorial patterns as small as these.
An exemplar of classic charm and folk art as much as handmade rugs, with versatile size and vast design applications. Further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
