Further On the Design:

This mid-century piece enjoys diamond medallions in gray, gold and green atop beige — motifs sometimes called lozenges in tribal vernacular. Traditional symbols in colorful accents on the field and striped borders further lend a lively touch to this classic, cultured piece.

Connoisseurs will appreciate this tribal origin as one of the most primitive, and collectible shabby-chic styles in nomadic rugs. Exceptional Gabbehs like this creation are known for thick, lush pile, vibrant colors and archaic geometric patterns. An exemplar of rustic charm and folk art as much as handmade rugs, with versatile size and vast design applications.

A delicious piece in good condition for its age and origin. less
