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 particular design enjoys horse pictorial patterns in a distinguished, yet playful style relishing brown and blue atop gray. Keen-eyed connoisseurs will admire fine traditional motifs on the borders in red, white with blue accents for a complementary charm and presence.

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. See less
