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 patterns. This mid-century piece enjoys chevron patterns in beige-brown, gray and rust red tones. Lush pile further exemplifies the cozy sensibility renowned in this provenance—the most primitive, collectible shabby-chic rug style. An exemplar of rustic mood and folk art as much as handmade rugs of this rich, cultured tradition.

In good condition for its age and origin, with an archaic charm and natural feeling. less
