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 creation are known for thick, lush pile, vibrant modern colors and archaic geometric patterns. This particular design enjoys polychromatic chevrons, and emphasis on reds and other bold hues of warmth and playful movement. Keen-eyed connoisseurs will admire how fresh and crisp these unusual colors remain, especially for this period of origin. An exemplar of rustic 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. Colorway includes purples, beige-browns, oranges, reds, and greens in its uncommon, whimsical range. See less
