This vintage 4x5 Gabbeh Persian rug is from the latest entries in Rug & Kilim’s rare tribal curations. Hand-knotted in wool circa 1950-1960.
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, rich colors and bold geometric patterns. This particular design enjoys lozenge medallion patterns in the field, and an emphasis on beige-brown, abrashed gray and black punctuations in its distinguished, yet playful style.
Keen-eyed connoisseurs will admire orange canine pictorials in the field corners and vibrant diamond patterns in the borders. Both remark a subdued use of lively hues for this provenance, and lend a charm like that of folk art to this collectible.
An exemplar of classic charm and rich culture as much as handmade rugs, with versatile size and vast design applications. Further enjoys good condition for its age and origin. less
